SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Compares two BuildBuddy invocations to identify the earliest shared cache miss and explain why actions are rebuilt.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Diff two invocations to pinpoint where outputs diverge and which flags or inputs differ.
  • Analyze canonical command lines, input trees, and Action/ActionResult data to surface root causes.
  • Use with API responses and references templates to reproduce and troubleshoot builds.

Quick Start

Run the comparison on two invocations to see where they diverge.

Frequently Asked Questions about buildbuddy-invocation-compare

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose a BuildBuddy cache miss and find why my actions are rebuilt?▼

To diagnose a BuildBuddy cache miss, compare two invocations to identify the earliest shared cache miss and analyze divergent flags, inputs, and environment data to explain why actions are rebuilt.

What's the best way to diff two BuildBuddy invocations to pinpoint where outputs diverge?▼

Diffing two BuildBuddy invocations analyzes canonical command lines, input trees, and Action data to pinpoint where outputs diverge and surface root causes of the rebuild.

Do I need a valid groupId and API access to compare BuildBuddy invocations?▼

Yes, comparing BuildBuddy invocations requires access to the BuildBuddy API, a valid groupId, and the request templates to retrieve GetInvocation and GetExecution data.

Can I use BuildBuddy invocation URLs or do I need specific IDs to run the comparison?▼

You can use either BuildBuddy invocation URLs or specific IDs to run the comparison across GetInvocation and GetExecution data to diagnose divergence.

Why does my BuildBuddy build rebuild actions when the source inputs appear identical?▼

Actions rebuild due to divergence in flags, inputs, or environment variables; comparing two BuildBuddy invocations surfaces these root causes even when source inputs appear identical.

What data does the BuildBuddy invocation comparison analyze to troubleshoot builds?▼

The comparison analyzes GetInvocation and GetExecution data, canonical command lines, input trees, and ActionResult data to reproduce and troubleshoot builds.
