The check for the existence of
jq
usingshutil.which
didn't really work sinceshutil.which
does not ever throw sojq_exists
have always beenTrue
, even ifjq
was missing on the system.Fixed that and also:
jq
is available on every invocation. The caching of state is not necessary since this is never gonna be a performance issue. Also it would cache too hard, even after the user has changed thejq_binary
in settings.
