How do we make curl/jq treat a string with spaces characters as a single string?

I have JSON data in a variable

authArray=[
  {
    "name": "testtoken1",
    "authType": "Token",
    "username": null,

  {

    "authType": "Basic",
    "username": "[email protected]",
    "password": "PASSWORD-MASKED",
    "header_1": null,

I am trying to update 1st object named testtoken1's 'header_1' field in that array with the below dynamically updated string with code given as well

auth='"Authorization: Bearer {{@CmdCache | curl -s -d '{"username":"[email protected]","password":"Welcome123"}' -H '"Content-Type: application/json"' -H '"Accept: application/json"' -X POST '"https://dev.qtech.ai/login"' | jq --raw-output '".token"' }}"'

mAuth=$(echo $authArray | jq 'map(select(.name == "testtoken1") |= (.header_1 = "'${auth}'" ))' | jq -c . )

When I execute the above code, I'm getting below jq error message

jq: Unknown option -d
Use jq --help for help with command-line options,
or see the jq manpage, or online docs  at https://stedolan.github.io/jq

It's throwing error because of space characters in that auth variable, if I remove those spaces characters from that variable it's working perfectly.

Above commands output needs to used with below code eventually.

udto=$(echo $(_jq '.') | jq '.auths = '${mAuth}'')
curl -s --location --request PUT "${HOST}/api/v1/projects/$PROJECT_ID/env/$eId" --header "Accept: application/json" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "Authorization: Bearer "$token"" -d "$udto"

But our use case is as such, we want to put auth variable as it is so that we don't have to make/add space characters back again from the UI of the app and when we run that command from UI by pressing Run button which we will execute that curl structure/syntax command in the background.

So, how can we make/pass that variable as it is along with space characters using curl, jq, and bash shell scripting?

CodePudding user response：

It's because you are not quoting your variable when expanding:

jq 'map(select(.name == "testtoken1") |= (.header_1 = "'${auth}'" ))'

should be

jq 'map(select(.name == "testtoken1") |= (.header_1 = "'"${auth}"'" ))'

But you shouldn't be interpolating the jq program/filter with shell variables in the first place. Define a jq variable instead and don't worry about messing up your jq filter:

jq --arg auth "$auth" 'map(select(.name == "testtoken1") |= (.header_1 = $auth))'
