Describe the bug
The
-i
inplace flag overwrites symlinks with the file contents instead of modifying the symlinked file when data file and /tmp are on the same partition.Version of yq: v4.44.3
Operating system: linux
Installed via: binary release
Thanks to #1306 for helping me investigate the root cause.
Input Yaml
data1.yml
is on a the same filesystem partition as/tmp
data1.yml:
data2.yml:
symlink to data1.yml
Command
The command you ran:
Actual behavior
Before running yq command
After running yq command
$ ls -l | grep data -rw-rw-r-- 1 sestegra sestegra 50 Sep 21 14:55 data1.yml -rw-rw-r-- 1 sestegra sestegra 67 Sep 21 14:58 data2.yml
Expected behavior
data2.yml
file must be a symlink after update.Additional context
If the same command is ran with
data1.yml
and/tmp
on different filesystem partitions, it works as expected.The difference occurs when calling
renameat
. If on a different partitions, the first strace occurs.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
