Jq can't read files when installed with snap

[dwschulze]

I installed jq with snap but it can’t read files:

$ jq . clientupdate.json
jq: error: Could not open file clientupdate.json: Permission denied

I’ve even given universal rw permission to the file but it still can’t read it.

I’ve also tried with

sudo snap install jq --classic

but still get the same error.

Jq can't read some files

I’m not the first one with this problem https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58128001/could-not-open-file-lol-json-permission-denied-using-jq where files I have permission to cat can’t be read by jq installed through snap. I have to pipe cat which is a bit rediculous.
