Reference key get overwritten by hardcoded default key. about jdiff HOT 4 CLOSED

#34 was related to diff processing and there were no changes to get_value method and ref_key processing.
You compare ['connected'] with ['down'] and it's the right result, as Management1 is not present in these data structures.

It looks to me like get_value is not giving you desired result. It exits get_value method here: https://github.com/networktocode-llc/netcompare/blob/da7675a8a6d85cc0ae2b73c1a1e3d6aa419ce1a2/netcompare/check_types.py#L68

I think we have a new case that we haven't faced yet.

@pszulczewski Ignore this! Was a late evening run... You are right, this is another case and in my opinion, is a wrong JMSPATH implementation: there is no point to reference key a interface name. I will do some more test around it and let you know.

from jdiff.

The right way to write that JMSPATH expression would be:

>>> my_jmspath = "result[*].interfaces.*.[$name$,interfaceStatus]"
>>> pre_value = my_check.get_value(output=pre_data, path=my_jmspath)
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/olivierif/git/ntc/networktocode-llc/netcompare/netcompare/check_types.py", line 90, in get_value

    final_result.append({my_key: wanted_value_with_key[my_index]})
TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'

Still throw an error though. I will investigate...
