Decrypt requires `.yml` extension?

I noticed decrypt fails if the file I intend to decrypt has an extension other than .yml i.e. test.yml.enc.

sops falls back to assuming the file is JSON encoded when no extension is present, which it is not in your case. You can tell sops that the file is a YAML file by supplying --input-type yaml.
