json - Get outputs from jq on a single line

Question

I got below output using: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40330344

 (.issues[] | {key, status: .fields.status.name, assignee: .fields.assignee.emailAddress})

Output:

 {  
   "key": "SEA-739",
   "status": "Open",
   "assignee": null
 }
 {
   "key": "SEA-738",
   "status": "Resolved",
   "assignee": "[email protected]"
 }

But I need to parse each and every line but it's tough to identify which assignee is for which key as far as key group is concerned. Is this possible to make one bunch in one row using jq?

Expected output:

{ "key": "SEA-739", "status": "Open", "assignee": null }
{ "key": "SEA-738", "status": "Resolved", "assignee": "[email protected]"}

OR

{ "SEA-739", "Open", null }
{ "SEA-738", "Resolved", [email protected] }

Answer 1

-c is what you likely need

Using the output you posted above, you can process it further:

jq -c . input

To Give;

{"key":"SEA-739","status":"Open","assignee":null}
{"key":"SEA-738","status":"Resolved","assignee":"[email protected]"}

Or you can just change your original command

FROM

jq -r '(.issues[] | {key, status: .fields.status.name, assignee: .fields.assignee.emailAddress})'

TO

jq -c '(.issues[] | {key, status: .fields.status.name, assignee: .fields.assignee.emailAddress})'
