                          I am using yq version 4.34.1 in powershell.

I try to replace the value of .spec.source.targetRevision in target.yaml with the newer value from a variable $newTargetRevision. So, what I am doing now is as follows.

    $newTargetRevision = "v1.1.1-1"
	yq -i '.spec.source.targetRevision = "$newTargetRevision"' target.yaml
	
What I have got is as follows.

    spec:
      source:
        targetRevision: &default $newTargetRevision

I expect to get:-

    spec:
      source:
        targetRevision: &default v1.1.1-1

I also tried removing double quotes from $newTargetRevision as follows, but the value in the yaml file is not updated at all.

    yq -i '.spec.source.targetRevision = $newTargetRevision' target.yaml

I try many things but without success. Can you please suggest?

Thanks
