The Compare Invocations view allows you to diff two invocations side-by-side.

It can help debug why two builds produced different results by showing exactly what changed: different flags, startup options, cache/remote execution settings, status, and more.

To use Compare Invocations:

  1. From one invocation link, select Compare -> Select for comparison in the top right corner.
  2. From another invocation link, select Compare -> Compare with selected.
  3. For even more details on differences between the two invocations, click the Run bb explain button on the Compare Invocations page.
