Diff output is not working correctly on Windows

[MonaAghili]

Hello, We're having an issue with displaying changes in a file. As shown in the video, the components are installed from Mishka chelekom, and the project is up to date with the latest master branch. I make some changes to a component in my project, and then I pull updates from the master. Naturally, the changes I made differ from what's in the master.

In the macOS video, we can see that only the parts of the file that were modified are highlighted in green and red, clearly showing what was added or removed. However, on Windows, as seen in the video, the entire file gets printed twice in the command line instead of just showing the differences.

This inconsistency in Windows creates additional challenges in tracking file changes effectively.

Can you try the latest versions and see if there is any difference?

Hello dear @zachdaniel
I closed the other issue because it has been resolved. However, this issue on Windows still persists.

Interesting that is surprising. I would have expected them to have been fixed with the same thing. Could you please try to reproduce with a minimal igniter task? To ensure that this isn't something related to your usage specifically?

Hi I installed a component and made a few adjustments on both macOS and Windows to demonstrate the output differences. On macOS everything works perfectly! but on Windows, the diffs still don't show up.

As you can see, I made the same adjustments on both systems and in the videos you can see the differences in the outputs

@shahryarjb created this setup to test these issues, so I installed it in a new project. You can find it here: igiwindow.

Dear @zachdaniel, the name "Task Mishka" might be a bit confusing, but the test @MonaAghili conducted has been reproduced on a project with less than 30-40 lines of code, which has also been shared above.

The entire task was that we created a file from a template. Then, we made just a small change in the document, like adding a semicolon. You can see on Windows that it's reloading the entire file.

Thank you in advance

Hey folks, I feel bad but I just have not had a chance to test this on windows. Can someone please try the latest version of igniter on windows to see if this issue persists? We've made various changes to the system. I have not myself reproduced and fixed, but would be good to make sure if its still an issue before I spend time on it.

Hi @zachdaniel I just tested the latest version of Igniter in igiwindow and unfortunately the issue still remains. Please let me know if you need any specific details.
