What does this PR do?
It adds
recursive_difftosalt.utils.data. This is a recursive diff that can handle mixed nested mappings/iterables. This is an alternative tosalt/utils/dictdiffer.pyorsalt/utils/listdiffer.pythat can only handle nested dicts and list-of-nested-dicts respectively.What issues does this PR fix or reference?
None that I'm aware of.
Previous Behavior
Only nested dicts or list-of-nested-dicts could be recursively diffed. Nothing is available to recursively diff a mix of lists, dicts, OrderedDicts, sets, tuples or other mapping or iterable type.
New Behavior
salt.utils.data.recursive_diffis able to produce a dict witholdandnewkeys for any combination of nested mapping- or iterable types. Some options are only applicable to certain types, likeignore_keysandignore_missing_keyswill only work on (nested) mappings, andignore_orderwill only make a difference on ordered datatypes (like OrderedDict and list).Tests written?
