Show HN: Flatito, grep for YAML and JSON files
What I often use to just get the full key paths is yq (https://github.com/mikefarah/yq), piping into grep when necessary

Runtime error with plugin that uses io.popen to run executable during plugin startup
I've been trying to install and config a plugin (papis.nvim) for a couple of days and am having issues with a function that uses io.popen to run yq to convert yaml files to json. I know my install of yq is fine- I can run yq -oj info.yaml from the command line with no issue and it produces the correct json output. I know the function can find the yq executable, but it returns nil. I've saved the error from the yq golang code: panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

- yq has no if-then-else https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/95 which is a poor design (or omission) in my opinion

jq is awesome and thanks to the new team for their recent efforts and energy, it massively appreciated.

That's a Lot of YAML
For anyone looking for such a script, there's some CLIs that make it easy. One is `yq -o props` [1], another way is to use `yq -j` or `yj` [2] to convert to JSON and pipe it to `gron` [3].

Modern Linux Tools vs. Unix Classics: Which Would I Choose?
