== Instruments for gathering and comparing the settings on a tested environment ==
==================================================================================
I. Binaries used.
1. SettingsReader.Web.exe : a Roblox in-house tool written by Yuri Belotserkovsky that gets the settings values from the database on the given instance (sitetest1/2/3 in case of web settings, gametest* in case of client FastFlags)
* CommandLine.dll is a dependency for the tool, it also uses Newtonsoft.Json.dll that is copied from Automation\External\DLLs
2. diff.exe : a GNU open-source diff tool implementation for Windows, provides a well-formatted and very readable output of the difference between 2 files.
* Source: http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/
* libiconv2.dll, libintl3.dll are dependencies for diff.exe, source is the same: http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/
II. Syntax (as used in TeamCity)
> GetSettings.bat <SERVER> <SETTINGS FILE> <PREVIOUS SETTINGS> <DIFF FILE>
* <SERVER> : the name of the instance the tests are run on, specified in build parameters on TC
* <SETTINGS FILE> : the file where the settings are stored; is compared to previous settings file and then exported to build artifacts
* <PREVIOUS SETTINGS> : the settings from previous build, fetched from previous build's artifacts; compared with current settings dump
* <DIFF FILE> : the file where the diff output is stored; exported to artifacts
