error while updating: bad substitution

Even with the Fix for jq (#2), the update function still does not work properly, leaving the available_commands file empty. However, I am not really certain what causes it? 🤔

I get the following error in the debugging log:

Covering other jq locations

thanks for the nice workflow!

I tried using it, however I got an error with jq. You can fix that by adding the following line at the top:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin/:/opt/homebrew/bin/:$PATH

on M1 Macs, HomeBrew installs jq at /opt/homebrew/bin/, and adding that to the PATH ensures that you can use jq like in the shell, without worrying where a user has installed it.

#!/bin/zsh
export PATH=/usr/local/bin/:/opt/homebrew/bin/:$PATH

{{...}}

json_array=$(printf '%s
' "${cheat_list[@]}" | grep -v ":\|/" | jq -R . | jq -s .)

# Format the output as Script Filter Json Format
# shellcheck disable=SC2016
jq -n --argjson item "$json_array" -f <(echo '{"items":[$item[] as $name | {"uid":$name,"title":$name,"arg":$name,"autocomplete":$name}]}')
