Escape JSON in Mix shell echo command
I have a similar code to this. I want it to echo a valid JSON with quotes on properties so that it can be piped to another command. But while echoing, it is ripping off all the quotes.
def test_function() do
map = %{
"key1" => 12,
"key2" => "value1",
}
json = Poison.encode!(map)
IO.inspect(json)
Mix.Shell.cmd(
"echo #{json}",
fn x -> IO.puts(x) end
)
end
Expected
{"key2":"value1","key1":12}
Actual
{key2:value1,key1:12}

Welcome to the elixir forum.
You have to quote the Json string for echo.
Mix.Shell.cmd(
"echo '#{json}'",
fn x -> IO.puts(x) end
)
