I think you meant to use || in your condition, not &&, because 1000 != 1.

See:

SELECT JSON_EXISTS(jsonb '{"customer_name": "test", "salary":1000,
"department_id":1}', '$.* ? (@ == $dept_id || @ == $sal)' PASSING 1000
AS sal, 1 as dept_id);
json_exists
-------------
t
(1 row)

Or you could've written the query as:

SELECT JSON_EXISTS(jsonb '{"customer_name": "test", "salary":1000,
"department_id":1}', '$ ? (@.department_id == $dept_id && @.salary ==
$sal)' PASSING 1000 AS sal, 1 as dept_id);
json_exists
-------------
t
(1 row)

Does that make sense?

In any case, JSON_EXISTS() added by the patch here returns whatever
the jsonpath executor returns. The latter is not touched by this
patch. PASSING args, which this patch adds, seem to be working
correctly too.
