I have a configuration where there is a default job in /etc/borgmatic/config.yaml which uses one repo, and a little application job in /etc/borgmatic.d/app1.yaml

if I now use borgmatic --list --json or even just for one repo borgmatic --list --json --repository REPO1 i get following error:
Error:Multiple JSON root elements[Code 22, Structure 240]

in the second case there is only a [] appended after the json from repository 1

I wasn't able to reproduce this problem with a similar set up. What version of borgmatic are you using? (borgmatic --version or pip3 show borgmatic) Also, posting your borgmatic config files (with sensitive information redacted) may be helpful. Thanks!

the list command:

output:

You see the first two characters are [] i think from the other repository, which is not selected.
but if i use this output in an application, or just in a online json beautifier it gives an error.
for example here:

Error:Multiple JSON root elements[Code 22, Structure 3]
