Parsing terraform tfstate files results in "unknown" format

I have an additional issue with it not handling the file's extension.

Previous this worked and outputted the content in yaml: yq -v -P '.outputs ' .terraform.tfstate

Now I get this error: Error: unknown format 'tfstate' please use [yaml|json|props|csv|tsv|xml]

13:26:22 FormatFromFilename [DEBU] checking file extension '.terraform.tfstate' for auto format detection
13:26:22 FormatFromFilename [DEBU] detected format 'tfstate'
13:26:22 FormatFromFilename [DEBU] checking file extension '.terraform.tfstate' for auto format detection
13:26:22 FormatFromFilename [DEBU] detected format 'tfstate'

I renamed my input file to .terraform.json

Executed yq -P '.outputs ' .terraform.json, but now the content is JSON.

The work around was to force the output format: yq -o yaml -P '.outputs' .terraform.json or yq -o yaml '.outputs' .terraform.json
