Description

When large objects are compared, it makes the resulting errors hard to visually see what the differences are. This occurs with both large strings (e.g. generated BUILD file content for repository rule utilties) and large collections (e.g. the argv of a cc link command).

A diff would help draw attention to the parts of the expects vs actual that actually differ.
