I'm currently working with DeepDiff where I'm trying to figure out how I can get the value of the root instead of printing out the root e.g.
Value of root['hello'][0]['hello_world'] changed from "15251" to "51251".
So I have made a simple script
from deepdiff import DeepDiff
dict_a = {'hello': [{'what': 'uh', 'hello_world': '15251'}]}
dict_b = {'hello': [{'hello_world': '51251', 'what': 'uh'}]}
t = DeepDiff(dict_a, dict_b, ignore_order=True)
print(t.pretty())
>>> Value of root['hello'][0]['hello_world'] changed from "15251" to "51251".
and the output that I want to do is that I want it to be able to print out root['hello'][0] so in our case that would be dict_b['hello'][0] >>> {'hello_world': '51251', 'what': 'uh'} so that I can easily track in my dict_b the whole list rather than just the value
Is it possible to do this using DeepDiff?
You can use the tree-view option by providing view="tree" as argument. Then you have up and t2 properties to navigate to the parent at the side of the second input structure:
t = DeepDiff(dict_a, dict_b, ignore_order=True, view="tree")
for change in t["values_changed"]:
print(change.up.t2) # {'hello_world': '51251', 'what': 'uh'}
