I am trying to use the "add" filter to add the items in an array of integers, but that results in 'invalid input text "add"':
According to the jq documentation for "add", this ought to work: https://jqlang.github.io/jq/manual/#add
yq version: 4.35.2
jq version: 1.7
os: macos
shell: bash
Is this a bug?
How do I need to phrase the yq command so that the addition works?
Update:
After reading some more, it seems that the "yq" command simply does not support an "add" filter. Instead it supports the "+" operator. But the documentation has no example on how "+" can be used to add the integers in an array.
What I use right now, is:
This is pretty disappointing from a yq perspective, I would say. So if there is a yq-only solution, please post it here (and update the yq documentation with such an example).
