Description
This issue is similar to issue #40 , but it happens when using the apply_patch function.
A 'JsonPatchConflict: can't insert outside of list' error would raise every time we try to use apply_patch function between two docs having array inside a nested structure.
Take the following example:
doc5 = {'school':{'names':['Kevin','Carl']}}
doc6 = {'school':{'names':['Carl','Kate','Kevin','Jake']}}
patch = jsonpatch.JsonPatch.from_diff(doc5, doc6)
jsonpatch.apply_patch(doc5,patch)
When it run it produce the following error:
----> 1 jsonpatch.apply_patch(doc5,patch)
/home/kevinxin/ENV/src/jsonpatch/jsonpatch.py in apply_patch(doc, patch, in_place)
149 else:
150 patch = JsonPatch(patch)
--> 151 return patch.apply(doc, in_place)
152
153
/home/kevinxin/ENV/src/jsonpatch/jsonpatch.py in apply(self, obj, in_place)
347
348 for operation in self._ops:
--> 349 obj = operation.apply(obj)
350
351 return obj
/home/kevinxin/ENV/src/jsonpatch/jsonpatch.py in apply(self, obj)
498 'path': self.location,
499 'value': value
--> 500 }).apply(obj)
501
502 return obj
/home/kevinxin/ENV/src/jsonpatch/jsonpatch.py in apply(self, obj)
422
423 elif part > len(subobj) or part < 0:
--> 424 raise JsonPatchConflict("can't insert outside of list")
425
426 else:
JsonPatchConflict: can't insert outside of list
However, it the array is not in nested structure, the problem is gone.
Take the following example：
doc3 = {'names':['kevin','Carl']}
doc4 = {'names':['Carl','Kate','Kevin','Jake']}
patch = jsonpatch.JsonPatch.from_diff(doc3, doc4)
jsonpatch.apply_patch(doc3,patch)
Out: {'names': ['Carl', 'Kate', 'Kevin', 'Jake']}
