Snowsql script not executed when run as here document from bash script

Question

I have a bash script that contains something like this:

snowsql -a <account> -u <user> --authenticator externalbrowser -d <dbname> -o quiet=false <<-EOF
!source foo.sql
EOF

When I run it I don't see any of the output from the commands in foo.sql on the screen. It also appears that none of the SQL in foo.sql is executed (not reflected in state of database). Terminal output is:

* SnowSQL * v1.2.13
Type SQL statements or !help
Goodbye!

If I run foo.sql from an interactive Snowsql session the output from foo.sql is shown and the database is updated accordingly.

Why is foo.sql not executed when called in batch mode from the bash script?

Answer 1

Can you try to run it using -f parameter?

Answer 2

As @Gokhan says this looks to be down to the authentication method. Authentication via a non-browser method makes the problem go away.
