User dev plugin fails on prepareKotlinBuildScriptModel about paperweight HOT 4 CLOSED

macOS does not have --color in its diff command. Would be too sensible 😉.
As a workaround, install GNU/diff.

from paperweight.

Currently the userdev plugin fails because the diff option --color=never is not recognized by the present diff cli tool.
In every patch in the directory .gradle/caches/paperweight/setupCache/extractDevBundle.dir/patches/ the following is printed.

No, the userdev plugin does not use diff. This is core/patcher generating the dev bundle. Dev bundle generation is a much lower priority for working on every platform than the rest of paperweight as the bundle is meant to be generated by CI and published to a maven repo, not built locally.

As proxi said, generating the dev bundle requires GNU diff, so this is not a bug but a feature request to rework patch generation to not use GNU diff. I've opened a separate issue for that: #65

The package-info issue is a separate thing and does sound like a bug, however the dev bundle on the Paper repo (and ones I generate locally) do not have package-info patches, so it seems more like you have an invalid dev bundle? What dev bundle were you using to get this error?

Seems like I missinterpreted your example projects workflow. That was present 16+ hours ago.

I'll nuke the user dev bundle in my local maven repository and report back.

I should stop using bleeding edge projects.

Yeah works after nuking the part and cleaning the setup. https://github.com/yannicklamprecht/WorldBorderAPI
