is it possible to use yq snap package on an azure build agent?

[GreenBattery]

It appears that the snap package for yq version 4.34.1 on an Ubuntu 20.04.6 host (which is an Azure build agent) has no context of the CWD and requires files to be supplied via input redirection.

So, for example:

yq < test.yml

works as expected, but

yq test.yml fails with an error such as "error: 1:2: invalid input text 'agent/_work ...".

Verbose output suggests that it tries to stat the file, and fails (but the file exists, as confirmed by a standard cat command), then it proceeds to treat the argument as a yaml string, which fails as expected

Unfortunately, this seems to prevent one from executing commands that require multiple files and use select(fileIndex=x).

Any one have any ideas for how to get around this?

For What it's worth, the snap can't read/write outside the user's Home directory. I had to use yq from a docker container.
