Describe the bug
According to the JSON spec (YAML is a superset of JSON), YAML 1.2.2, and YAML 1.3.0, "\/"
is valid string syntax, equivalent to "/"
.
However, when "\/"
exists on the input to yq
, the escaped character is not recognized.
Version of yq: 4.13.3
Operating system: mac
Installed via: go install github.com/mikefarah/yq/v4@v4.13.3
under go1.17.2 darwin/amd64
Input
test.yml
["\/"]
Command
The command you ran:
yq e '.[0]' test.yml
Actual behavior
Error: yaml: found unknown escape character
Expected behavior
/
Additional context
Optional escapes on input strings work fine with jq-1.6:
% jq -r '.[0]' test.yml
/
