Script tags should be ignored

[leonkyr]

script starts
cssConstPopupClose = "nice";
var css = css || {};
css.archive = {};
css.archive.serverUrl = "https://google.com.au";
css.archive.disabled = false;
css.archive.tenant = "css-lhb";
css.archive.mock = false;
ends script
2)
script starts
cssConstPopupClose = "nice";
var css = css || {};
css.archive = {};
css.archive.serverUrl = "https://google.com.au";
css.archive.disabled = false;
css.archive.tenant = "sanagate-lhb";
css.archive.mock = false;
ends script

If you compare those two versions then the result is:
script starts
cssConstPopupClose = "nice";
var css = css || {};
css.archive = {};
css.archive.serverUrl = "https://google.com.au";
css.archive.disabled = false;
css.archive.tenant = "css"sanagate-lhb";
css.archive.mock = false;
ends script

This results in a javascript error and the comparison cannot be seen.

I have a very rudimentary fix for this:

private static bool IsEndOfTag(string val, string currentWord)
{
  return val == ">"
    && (!currentWord.StartsWith("<script", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
      || (currentWord.StartsWith("<script", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
        && currentWord.ToLower().Contains("</script")));        
}

And then change the ConvertHtmlToListOfWords to to pass in the current word:

case DiffMode.Tag:
  if (IsEndOfTag(character, currentWord))
  {

This will at least collect the entire script tag as a word which can be diff'd. Problem is, if you are rendering the diff'd HTML, and you have the <del> and <ins> tags wrapped around your tags, the script tag is still intact, so will execute twice on the page.e.g:

<script>console.log('first');</script>

and

<script>console.log('second');</script>

Will result in

<del class='diffmod'><script>console.log('first');</script></del><ins class='diffmod'><script>console.log('second');</script></ins>

Not sure how best to handle that, but then that's probably not this libraries responsibility.

why shouldn't it be this libraries responsibility @Antaris?
