Bug ID: 197499
Summary: wc libxo emits invalid JSON when used on multiple
files
Product: Base System
Version: 11.0-CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
Reporter: allanjude at FreeBSD.org
When using wc's libxo JSON output method, it emits invalid JSON.
Steps to recreate:
wc --libxo json /etc/defaults/*
The output is (pretty-printed for readability):
{
"wc": {
"file": [
{
"lines": 111,
"words": 644,
"characters": 3999,
"filename": "/etc/defaults/bluetooth.device.conf"
},
{
"lines": 87,
"words": 403,
"characters": 2439,
"filename": "/etc/defaults/devfs.rules"
},
{
"lines": 385,
"words": 1228,
"characters": 11700,
"filename": "/etc/defaults/periodic.conf"
},
{
"lines": 692,
"words": 4576,
"characters": 36171,
"filename": "/etc/defaults/rc.conf"
},
"total": {
"lines": 1275,
"words": 6851,
"characters": 54309,
"filename": "total"
}
]
}
}
The problem is that the 'total' segment, is a key/value pair, but that is not
allowed inside an array.
The output would either need to be changed to remove the key (the other
elements in the array use the filename for identification), or be made a
sibling of the 'file' 2nd level element, like so:
{
"wc": {
"file": [
{
"lines": 111,
"words": 644,
"characters": 3999,
"filename": "/etc/defaults/bluetooth.device.conf"
},
{
"lines": 87,
"words": 403,
"characters": 2439,
"filename": "/etc/defaults/devfs.rules"
},
{
"lines": 385,
"words": 1228,
"characters": 11700,
"filename": "/etc/defaults/periodic.conf"
},
{
"lines": 692,
"words": 4576,
"characters": 36171,
"filename": "/etc/defaults/rc.conf"
}
],
"total": {
"lines": 1275,
"words": 6851,
"characters": 54309,
"filename": "total"
}
}
}
