Hi.

Here is a test file that posts an error message if an interface status changes between snapshots.

Test interfaces:
 - command: show interfaces terse
 - iterate:
     xpath: physical-interface
     id: name
     tests:
       - no-diff: oper-status
         err: "Test Failed: oper-status of {{id_0}} got changed from <{{pre['oper-status']}}> to <{{post['oper-status']}}>"
         info: "Test Passed: oper-status is the same, before it was <{{pre['oper-status']}}>, now it is <{{post['oper-status']}}>"

I know that {{ id_0 }} is a variable containing the name of the interface whose status has changed. But what does the "_0" in the variable name stand for?

Thanks,

Deepak

the id is a Key Value for elements in pre and post checks
