!= invalid character

[perplexes]

$ (some input) | ./jq '.details[] | select(.health != "ok")'
error: Invalid character
.details[] | select(.health != "ok")
                            ^
1 compile error

Seems valid to me...

This feature has been added on master, the binaries should be rebuilt. You can build master yourself or use the syntax:

.details[] | select(.health == "ok" | not)

[igor47]

came here to complain about the same issue; any idea when the official binaries will be updated?

igor47@Robot:~ $ echo '[{"name":"joe"},{"name":"mike"}]' | jq '.[] | select(.["name"] == "mike")'
{
  "name": "mike"
}
igor47@Robot:~ $ echo '[{"name":"joe"},{"name":"mike"}]' | jq '.[] | select(.["name"] != "mike")'
error: Invalid character
.[] | select(.["name"] != "mike")
                       ^
1 compile error
