Replace with_entries broken

[alexpenev-s]

Version of yq: v4.44.1

Input Yaml data1.yml:

a:
  b:
    c: 1

Command The command you ran:

yq e  '(.a | with_entries(select(.key | test("b$"))) | .[].c) = "5504881"' data1.yml

Actual behavior

a:
  b:
    c: 1

Expected behavior

a:
  b:
    c: "5504881"

Additional context with yq version 4.22.1 The replace is done corretly.

When using with_entries you have to perform the update within the brackets of that operator - not out. To get what you want here, you'd need to do something like:

yq '.a |= with_entries(select(.key | test("b$")) | .value.c = "5504881")' examples/data1.yaml

a:
  b:
    c: "5504881"

Explanation:

• |= to update .a, w.r.t to itself
• Use with_entries to find the right key to update the value of
