I have a report.json generated by a gitlab pipeline.It looks like:
{"version":"14.0.4","vulnerabilities":[{"id":"64e69d1185ecc48a1943141dcb6dbd628548e725f7cef70d57403c412321aaa0","category":"secret_detection"....and so on
If no vulnerabilities found, then "vulnerabilities":[]. I'm trying to come up with a bash script that would check if vulnerabilities length is null or not. If not, print the value of the vulnerabilities key. Sadly, I'm very far from scripting genius, so it's been a struggle.While searching web for a solution to this, I've come across jq. It seems like select() should do the job.I've tried:
jq "select(.vulnerabilities!= null)" report.json
but it returned {"version":"14.0.4","vulnerabilities":[{"id":"64e69d1185ecc48a194314...
instead of expected "vulnerabilities":[{"id":"64e69d1185ecc48a194314...
and
map(select(.vulnerabilities != null)) report.json
returns "No matches found"
Would you mind pointing out what's wrong apart from my 0 experience with bash and JSON parsing?
