--output text flag is giving different results when set

[j0rzsh]

Describe the bug

So the issue I have encountered is this:

aws ecr describe-images --repository-name my-repo --query "sort_by(imageDetails,& imagePushedAt)[-1]" --no-cli-pager
Output:

{
    "registryId": "xxxxxxxxxx",
    "repositoryName": "my-repo",
    "imageDigest": "sha256:b10aa8e713a0e9bf2e8ed2b9b133fd4a88e8f5f1de4ef68c14691f977bd7c912",
    "imageTags": [
        "18122024T1715"
    ],
    "imageSizeInBytes": 105261770,
    "imagePushedAt": "2024-12-18T18:17:18.998000+01:00",
    "imageManifestMediaType": "application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json",
    "artifactMediaType": "application/vnd.docker.container.image.v1+json",
    "lastRecordedPullTime": "2024-12-18T18:17:20.300000+01:00"
}

aws ecr describe-images --repository-name my-repo --query "sort_by(imageDetails,& imagePushedAt)[-1]" --output text --no-cli-pager

Output:

application/vnd.docker.container.image.v1+json	sha256:65cd04e822b8a3e576e90f68a07b7a9ade8eaca40662319a4074208640e17ebc	application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json	2024-12-18T18:00:22.553000+01:00	105261604	2024-12-18T18:00:23.862000+01:00	xxxxxxxxxx	my-repo

So the same command with the same query is returning two different responses only for setting the --output flag to text. I am not sure if this is the intended behaviour but I don't really understand the reason.

aws --version
Output:
aws-cli/2.22.14 Python/3.12.6 Darwin/23.6.0 exe/x86_64

Regression Issue

• Select this option if this issue appears to be a regression.

Expected Behavior

Return same amount of items and same information when --output test flag is set and when it is not.

Current Behavior

When no --output flag is set, or when is set to json, only one result is appearing. When --output is set to text, two results are appearing.

Reproduction Steps

We haven't encountered this issue ever and we have been using the exact same command for years. Only difference I see now is that the two images where pushed with only 17 minutes apart from each other.

Possible Solution

No response
