Looping in @jshum2479.

@manvindar-telus, how are you creating your auxiliary image? The image tool has been adding jq for a long time. The validation that you are hitting was added in operator version 4.2.5 during the summer as part of another fix.

[jshum2479]

We have added requirement for jq in the introspector since 4.2.5. You will need to make sure your main/base image (not auxiliary image) of the domain resource YAML referenced has jq install. If you are trying to use the arm64 version of the image provided in container-registry.oracle.com, those image is based on OL7 arm64 which does not have jq installed by default. You can update the image to install it. The jq package can be found in oracle-epel-release-el7 repo. amd64 images shouldn't have any problem. If you use imagetool to build your image that, shouldn't be any problem, by default it install jq.
