TTP Group and Complience test "Bug"

[aascedu]

Hello,

I just started making serializer and tests for my organization.

Here is what I discovered and wished to know if it was normal or not.
Before I used to name my groups in the TTP parser with dash ('-') like 'line-vty' or 'no-ip' but I discovered it is causing problems when running Tests so I changed to 'linevty' or 'noip'. I'll show you the errors I get with dash-containing group name.

First, without a dash : here is a part of my Serialized state for a router device.

linevty:
- mode: ssh
  mode2: /
  range: 0 4
- mode: ssh
  mode2: /
  range: 5 15

I wanted to check that none of the mode had "telnet" in them. So I came up with this test.
not jq.all('.linevty[] | select(.mode == "telnet" or .mode2 == "telnet").range', device.config)

Here is the output :

Now, when I change 'linevty' to 'line-vty' :
the Serialized state

line-vty:
- mode: ssh
  mode2: /
  range: 0 4
- mode: ssh
  mode2: /
  range: 5 15

(still looks the same)

The test doesn't change except for the name of 'linevty' to 'line-vty' :
not jq.all('.line-vty[] | select(.mode == "telnet" or .mode2 == "telnet").range', device.config)

Now the output is like that :

Since, it is a jq error, it might not be the right place to discuss, but I thought someone here would be aware of that problem when using JQ to produce tests quite frequently.

Thank you for your help ;)

Hey @aascedu, dash has special meaning in jq, so it breaks variable names by default. You can leverage quotes to escape names with dashes.

 not jq.all('."line-vty"[] | select(.mode == "telnet" or .mode2 == "telnet").range', device.config)

Thank you very much for the info
