yq is not able to stat my file

[allamand]

Describe the bug
I want to use yq to update a yaml file, but yq cannot stat the file while stat is correctly working

I can stat the file directly

demo3:~/environment/eks/kubeflow/eksworkshop-eksctl $ stat /home/ec2-user/environment/eks/kubeflow/eksworkshop-eksctl/kfctl_aws.yaml                           
  File: ‘/home/ec2-user/environment/eks/kubeflow/eksworkshop-eksctl/kfctl_aws.yaml’
  Size: 8832            Blocks: 24         IO Block: 4096   regular file

but yq respond a stat error

demo3:~/environment/eks/kubeflow/eksworkshop-eksctl $ yq w -i ${CONFIG_FILE} 'spec.plugins[0].spec.enablePodIamPolicy' true 
Error: stat /home/ec2-user/environment/eks/kubeflow/eksworkshop-eksctl/kfctl_aws.yaml: no such file or directory
...

demo3:~/environment/eks/kubeflow/eksworkshop-eksctl $ 

Is there a constraint in yq preventing to correctly stat file ?

[mikefarah]

Only thing I can think of is if you are using yq installed via snap - snap has a concept of 'confinements' that may be causing this?

[allamand]

I'm not using snap, but i'm using docker image that may explain the problem

yq() {
  docker run --rm -i -v "${PWD}":/workdir mikefarah/yq yq "$@"                
}

[allamand]

it's because I just mount my local folder.

@allamand What was the issue? I'm having same issue...it can't find the Chart.yaml even though it's in the current directory that's mounted to /workdir

@cnoble40-netrist May be due to Snap confinement as @mikefarah wrote. Documentation says yq installs with strict confinement. Try with: cat Chart.yaml | yq e -
