Unified Diff - Several Hunks in One File

One TypeScript module edited in 2 places at once, so the hunks are far enough apart not to merge. Use it to check that a parser advances its line cursor by the hunk header rather than by counting emitted lines.

Testing contract

Expected to pass
Scenario
Render or apply a multi-hunk unified diff whose hunks are separated by unchanged code.
Expected result
2 hunks are parsed, each starting at the line number in its own @@ header; no hunk is applied at the wrong offset.

What is a .diff file?

A .diff file records the difference between two versions of one or more text files. The unified format — the default almost everywhere — names the old and new files on `---` and `+++` lines, then lists hunks introduced by `@@ -old,count +new,count @@` in which context lines are unprefixed and changed lines are prefixed with `-` or `+`. Older context and normal diff formats exist but are rarely produced today.

How to use this file

Use an example .diff file to test diff parsers, syntax highlighters, and merge tooling — verifying hunk-offset arithmetic, correct handling of context lines that begin with a space, and behaviour on files whose changes include trailing-whitespace or line-ending differences.

How to use this file for testing

“Unified Diff - Several Hunks in One File” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Visual diff / regression, Code parsing, Editor testing. A/B image twins with controlled pixel changes, anti-alias variants, and UI chrome crops for screenshot diff and visual regression tools.

Documented properties for this file: seed 20260807 · TypeScript · UTF-8 · LF. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Diff and patch fixtures name their target paths and the exact edge case they exercise — rename, mode change, binary hunk, CRLF↔LF, or missing trailing newline. Apply or render them against the documented before-state; every author, path, and hash is fictional.

Treat A/B twins as a visual regression unit: run your pixel or perceptual diff, assert a non-zero delta on the changed twin, and keep thresholds calibrated against the documented change kind in specs.
