Bug Report
Current Behavior
Currently, json_path would return the string literal \n when using union operator ([,]).
Expected Behavior
Instead, json_path should return the values with new lines, separated by commas, and contained in brackets ([]).
Additional context/output
Taken from ScoopInstaller/Java#515 (comment).
I am trying to extract the version and UUID from this JSON https://api.azul.com/metadata/v1/zulu/packages?java_version=17&os=windows&arch=x86&archive_type=zip&java_package_type=jdk&javafx_bundled=false&crac_supported=false&latest=true&page_size=2.
Using this JSON path should returns 4 different values
$..['distro_version','package_uuid']
Note that https://jsonpath.com/ only accept this syntax
$..distro_version,package_uuid
Currently, the returned value is
[
17,
48,
15,
0
]\ncef00b50-77db-400a-afdd-b9e391e44631\n[
17,
48,
15,
0
]\n25351721-5e7e-4eef-a0ef-0c3686b38631
However, I don't think this is a feature and trying to the match regex for it would break if this is changed/fixed.
System details
- Windows version: 11
- OS architecture: 64bit
- PowerShell version: 7.4.2
Good catch! It should return serialized result rather than a concatenated result.
