Disable pretty patch on Chromium Mac to see if that resolves some hangs seen on the Mac Canary

Can we just make the Mac port set _pretty_patch_available to false instead of returning a dummy text string?
Comment 3 Eric Seidel (no email) 2010-05-04 16:02:19 PDT
That will cause it to return a different dummy text string, but that's totally doable too.

Dirk the change you're suggesting would look like this:

chromium_mac.py:

import base

__init__...
   # FIXME: Remove this hack.
   _log.warn("Disabling pretty patch support due to bug 38552");
   base._pretty_patch_available = False


I'm happy to make such.  But I think it's kinda a wash.  They're both pretty hackish.
Comment 5 Dirk Pranke 2010-05-04 17:52:16 PDT
Ah, I see. It would be nice if there was an overridable way of determining if pretty patch was available, but there isn't. Also, I see that what you return from pretty_diff_text() - an error string -- is different than what we return from wdiff_text()  -- an empty string -- if it isn't available.

So your first change is fine.

Just going to fix the pretty_diff hang for now.
