Compare Batches Script

This directory contains the compare_batches.sh script for comparing batch data between two domains.

Usage

To use the compare_batches.sh script:

1. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x compare_batches.sh

2. Run it with two domain names:

   ./compare_batches.sh localhost:1633 other_domain

What the script does

The compare_batches.sh script:

• Checks for correct number of arguments (requires exactly 2 domain names)
• Uses curl -s for silent mode to fetch /batches endpoint from both domains
• Pipes output through jq to format JSON
• Saves results to 1.txt and 2.txt
• Uses diff --side-by-side --suppress-common-lines to show only differing lines in a side-by-side format
  • --side-by-side displays the differing lines from both files next to each other
  • --suppress-common-lines ensures only differing lines are shown
• Reports if differences were found or not

Output

The script will display differences between the two batch endpoints side by side, or report "No differences found" if the responses are identical.
