- Add ShellVariablesPreferences struct with KeySeparator field (default: '_')
- Update shellVariablesEncoder to use configurable separator
- Add --shell-key-separator CLI flag
- Add comprehensive tests for custom separator functionality
- Update documentation with example usage for custom separator
This feature allows users to specify a custom separator (e.g. '__') when
outputting shell variables, which helps disambiguate nested keys from
keys that contain underscores in their names.
Example:
yq -o=shell --shell-key-separator='__' file.yaml
Fixes ambiguity when original YAML keys contain underscores.
Problem: When --split-exp is used and produces filenames with slashes in
them, the target directories must already exist otherwise yq fails.
Fix/feature: Create the necessary directories with os.MkdirAll().
The permissions 0750 were chosen to satisfy the vulnerability checker.
This commit adds the --properties-separator option, which lets users
specify the separator used between keys and values in the properties
output format. This is done by adjusting the value of
github.com/magiconair/properties#Properties.WriteSeparator at encode
time.
Some refactoring of the properties encoder unit tests was done to make
it easier to write unit tests that include different separator values.
Fixes: #1864
