When running below command directly in bash shell, I am able to get the output. But when I am passing it via BASH script getting access denied. Any help would be appreciated

$ jq  -r '.id' Repooutput.txt

Error:

$ sh test.sh
test.sh: line 3: /c/ProgramData/chocolatey/bin/jq: Permission denied
shell scripting windows bash

I think the reason is that when executing the script with sh test.sh we're asking the POSIX interpreter (shell) to execute the content on the script, while when executing it with ./test.sh we're asking the script to "execute itself".

For the latter, the file needs to have execution permissions, which you can add with

chmod +x test.sh

Issue was with the naming convention of JQ inside BASH folder path, because of which the script was unable to pick the command. Renaming the JQ within BASH folder resolved this
