Closed too early

Question

Right after asking this question I "realized" that the problem was the exact same as another I'd faced before.

I marked as duplicate and then tried outputting into a /tmp file instead of the source I was using cat on.

After I made the change I found that I was still getting the original error.

Original:

cat my.json | jq -S > my.json

Now trying:

cat my.json | jq -S > /tmp/my.json

I still get the same error. Should I open a new question?

I reopened your question, you can just edit it to say that you tried the solution mentioned in the other question but it didn't solve your problem.

@PhilipKirkbride please don't do that, if you can. If you've found the solution, post it as an answer and accept it. That way, the next person with the same problem will be able to find the answer.

@Scott It got closed again, this time as a duplicate of unix.stackexchange.com/questions/367127/…, which looks to be an accurate duplicate (Philip had posted the same answer on his question before it got closed and he deleted it)
