If visidata tries to read a SQLite file from standard input, it will load an empty sheet and create the file
-
in the current directory. This can be seen withcat sample_data/employees.sqlite |vd -f sqlite3
That's because the path for stdin gets resolved as the file
-
in the current directory.As far as I can tell, there's no way to read an SQLite file from standard input, at least not with the Python
sqlite
library. When I try it, usingsqlite.connect()
with'/dev/stdin'
, I get this errorSo this commit just disables reading any sqlite file from standard input.
