jq is not appending json file












0















I have a json file like this:



{  "active": "secure",  "secure": {   "nodetype": "secure",   "nodeid": null,   "servers": [    "ts2.na",    "ts1.na",    "ts3.na"   ],   "stakeaddr": null,   "email": null,   "fqdn": null,   "ipv": "4"  } }


I wanted to change it to something like this:



 "active": "secure",
"secure": {
"nodetype": "secure",
"nodeid": null,
"servers": [
"ts2.na",
"ts1.na",
"ts3.na"
],
"stakeaddr": "my nicea address",
"email": "mynice@email.com",
"fqdn": "itsmyfqdn",
"ipv": "4"
}
}


So, I tried this




jq '.secure.stakeaddr = "my nice address"' config.json



although it gives me this output:




{ 
"stakeaddr": "my nice address",
"email": null,
"fqdn": null,
}


But, when I cat config.json, it shows the last unchanged file. I tried with chmod 777 as well, same result. I do not know what I am doing wrong.
