@thapabishwa thank you for reporting the issue. We will take a look into it. It would be great if you could give us what environment (OS,FileSystem, etc.) you are running steampipe in.

[shamil]

Same issue. I'm on linux. my /tmp and /home directories are separate partitions. Maybe this is related.

[e-gineer]

I believe the problem is that we are using os.Rename, which does not allow copying files across partitions.

We should move to using ~/.steampipe/tmp or similar instead of /tmp, which would avoid this issue.

Thanks to @thapabishwa and @shamil for reporting.
