Jenkins File Viewer

I'm in the process of setting up our builds o开发者_开发知识库n our new Jenkins CI server. One thing I've noticed, which I don't really like is that I can't see a difference in the changes.

Jenkins knows what files have been modified/deleted but I cannot see where I can see the diff of those files?

Jenkins does not calculate diffs itself, but instead lets you link to a tool that does, such as a diff on GitHub, or a ViewSVN instance etc.

For example, on Apache's Jenkins instance, you can see a "ViewSVN" link next to each change:
https://builds.apache.org/job/ActiveMQ/changes

It depends on your SCM and the tool you normally use for browsing diffs, but there should be a Jenkins plugin available for you.

If not, it should be trivial to write your own :)
