Checks JSON files that you supply for drift from a baseline.

Create a drift folder with one subfolder per drift check. Each subfolder holds a baseline.json (the expected configuration), a current.json (the actual configuration) and an optional settings.json whose ExcludeProperties lists properties to skip.

Four results are created per folder, with the folder name made safe for a test ID:

  • MT.1060.<folder>.1: the baseline file exists and is valid JSON.
  • MT.1060.<folder>.2: the current file exists and is valid JSON.
  • MT.1060.<folder>.3: the current file has no properties missing from the baseline.
  • MT.1060.<folder>.4: every value in the current file matches the baseline.

In earlier versions of the engine these results were named MT1060.<folder>.<n>. The MT1060, MT1060.<n>, MT1060.<folder> and MT1060.<folder>.<n> tags are kept.

Update the configuration, or the baseline, so that the two files match.
