Submodule changes in Diff / Compare view is not visible enough

Created by: frimik

In the Diff / Compare view, submodule commits are basically skipped and you can barely detect them before accepting a merge request. An update to submodule will just show the path of the submodule in a grey box in the file list. Not detailing the ref changes at all. #1029 is related

I agree, the UI for the diff related changes is very very difficult to read. The CSS seems to be messed up a lot.

The linked PR was closed. Is this still an issue?

Just rechecked on 5.2 on a recent commit - still showing 0 changed files. No way to tell what was changed.

Would be good to see what commit the submodule was pointing at before and after.

@senny - Can you kindly reopen and advise on what debug info i can supply to help pinning this down.

@bbodenmiller as stated above

Just rechecked on 5.2 on a recent commit - still showing 0 changed files.

As there's no update instructions yet, i couldn't test master/pre-5.3 on my live server as a couple of my customers depend on it.

I can confirm this issue present on 5.2.1. No submodule information present in the merge requests or diff view (although the summary shows modifications). For example, in a commit that only updates the submodule, it shows: "This commit has 1 additions and 1 deletions" and "Showing 0 changed files".

I can confirm that 7.6 included changes that now show the submodule commit sha. Sorry, I don't have a commit ref to link. I'm closing this issue for now. Please reopen if you find this doesn't address your issue.
