Save diff as Text about csv-diff-report HOT 4 CLOSED

Well, that's a little embarrassing - there was a very obvious bug in the text output routine that I really should have picked up. I've fixed it now in aee3a66, and also pushed updates of the csv-diff and csv-diff-report gems to rubygems.org.

Also, in your test case above, you can use the --key-fields option instead of the --parent-fields and --child-fields option, i.e.
csvdiff prod.csv new.csv --key-fields data_uri --format text

You shouldn't specify the same field as both a parent and a child - they each need to be unique. If you have just one key field, or there is no hierarchical relationship in your data, you should just use --key-fields instead.

Thanks for finding and reporting this issue!

Thanks it's working now!
The reason i'm using the parent and child fields is because it's a lot faster.
I haven't been able to complete a diff when using the keyfield option.
The process seems to take a long time with comparing the files

OK - glad its working.
I am a little concerned that you might not be getting correct results using --parent-fields and --child-fields with the same field name. Its definitely not a case I considered, and there's every possibility this could give you incorrect results. What happens if you try using just --child-fields?

So far it seemed to give the right result, but i will do a more thorough to check if this is correct.
Using both fields as child-field seems to give the same result, the script has been running for around an hour and is still at comparing the records.
