Incorrect jq usage in append_string_to_params

@noisyscanner what version of jq are you using? Because I know this command is being used by at least 4 company's pipelines with no issues. Maybe I should also check for versions in the beginning part of the script

Hmm we are on the same version of jq jq-1.5-1-a5b5cbe

Could you paste a code snippet of how you are calling the orb. I remember running into this myself. It was weirdness with jq I think.

Here is the sample monorepo: https://github.com/swissknife/circle-monorepo

the recent pipelines seem to work.

Also here is how the jq -cr is supposed to work in your case. My guess is that some invalid js or is the case. The reason we don't need '' to -cr is that the input is coming from the piped command. But maybe there is some weird case I haven't encountered yet :D

Also I'm glad you are trying the orb out :) It has saved us a TON of time.

That was a quick response! Locally I installed the same version as you mention, and dry-ran it through as you see in the commands echoed above, and got the same issue. Adding the quote after like jq -cr '' fixed it for me:

@roopakv the command you posted also worked fine for me, but try appending > file to the end - then I get the error

@noisyscanner all right lets give it a shot, send me a PR.

I'll have to make sure it works on the sample repo and some internal repos. as long it does we should be good :)

[roopakv]

you are right, the command files when adding > file. However im so confused. We are using this daily, and no pipelines are failing 🤷

oh wells! thanks for the catch

[roopakv]

@noisyscanner published. you should be able to use version 0.44.0 with the fix.

You should see the latest version at https://orb.swissknife.dev

thanks for the fix :)
