Can you explain the github workflow for me

          for json in assets/json/*.json ; do
            diff <(jq -S . $json) $json || exit 1
          done

if a json is not sorted, jq -S . will sort it and print the sorted json to
stdout, so diff the stdout and original json will return 1, || exit 1 will
quit the for-loop, Like this:

Thanks. As I wrote above:

I'll have to check this before accepting. You can also check. I would actually not be surprised if this now fails at \faFile*.

I've checked, and as you see, it now fails:

The reason is that the Vim dictionary does not preserve a sorted order, necessarily. So, this means we must either sort the item(DICTIONARY) or store the data as a sorted list in the json file.

Regarding the workflow: I'm still wondering if it is a good idea to trigger this workflow on any json file and to specify that all json files must be sorted? Would it not be more appropriate to restrict it to this specific file?

Would it not be more appropriate to restrict it to this specific file?

Fixed.

store the data as a sorted list in the json file.

Fixed.

I did some minor profiling, and fascinatingly, doing the json_decode(fileread()) is faster than inlining in vimscript.

I'm merging this now. Thanks for contributing!

I made a few minor changes to the workflow (https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/blob/master/.github/workflows/assets.yml), mostly that I fixed the path to the fontawesome file. That will avoid any surprises if I were to add more json files to the assets directory. I believe I should probably collect all assets within that subdirectory, so I might look into that in the not so far away future.

Hmm. For some reason, the updated workflow does not run properly now:

Perhaps you could assist me here? Here's the diff of the workflow file from your version to the current:

Fixed 👍

Thanks! I'll look into the new PRs later today!
