Invalid `jq` options `-oj` lead to Invalid YAML error about papis.nvim HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks for the report! Just a quick question before I look into this, how is jq involved here at all? I thought we exclusively depend on yq (and that yq doesn't depend on jq). Am I understanding things wrong here?

Is it possible that you're using the python yq? Currently papis.nvim only works with the go yq (sometimes the package is called yq-go). I just checked and my yq is version v4.35.1 whereas the last python yq is at version 3.2.2 which aligns with what you're seeing.

Ah that's it! I installed yq from the arch repository with pacman -S yq and it installs https://github.com/kislyuk/yq, which depends on jq. The correct version is named go-yq in the arch repos. That explains why the oj parameters did not appear at all in the man page.

Sorry about that, I just saw that you point out the two different versions in the readme as well.

There is a positive side though: To support python-yq, all that's needed is to replace -oj by -j .

Ok, great! I'm going to close this issue then. Feel free to open another one if you think we should implement compatibility with python yq. It might be neat to automatically detect which one is installed and change the command as needed (especially if the fix is as simple as you said). I'll have a look if I get some time!
