Parsing json output using jq -jr

Question

I am running a puppet bolt command query certain information from a set of servers in json format. I am piping it to jq.. Below is what I get

$ bolt command run "cat /blah/blah" -n @hname.txt -u uid --no-host-key-check --format json |jq -jr '.items[]|[.node],[.result.stdout]'

[
  "node-name"
][
  "stdout data\n"
]

What do I need to do to make it appear like below

["nodename":"stdout data"]

Answer 1

如果您真的想要无效的 JSON 输出，则必须构造输出字符串，这可以使用字符串插值轻松完成，例如：

jq -r '.items[] | "[\"\(.node)\",\"\(.result.stdout)\"]"'

Answer 2

@peak thank you.. that helped. Below is how it looks like

$ bolt command run "cat /blah/blah" -n @hname.txt -u UID --no-host-key-check --format json |jq -r '.items[] | "[\"\(.node)\",\"\(.result.stdout)\"]"'
["node name","stdout data
"]

I used a work around to get the data I needed by using the @csv flag to the command itself. Sharing with you below what worked.

$ bolt command run "cat /blah/blah" -n @hname.txt -u uid --no-host-key-check --format json |jq -jr '.items[]|[.node],[.result.stdout]|@csv'
""node-name""stdout.data
"
