I am starting a new repo, thinking I should use the most recent Huksy v6 which is installed from LintStaged using their setup guide:
npx mrm lint-staged
// package.json updated with:
"husky": ">=6",
"lint-staged": ">=10",
This adds necessary packages and adds the husky files including the precommit files:
#!/bin/sh
. "$(dirname "$0")/_/husky.sh"
npx lint-staged
When i run my commit in the terminal it works fine. However, if I try to run my commit in GitHub Desktop or VSCode (which I know some teammates do), it results in an error for both:
npx: command not found. husky - pre-commit hook exited with code 127 (error)
I have npx installed:
npx -v
// 6.14.10
If I try to install in globall, such as described in other StackOverflow suggestions, it returns a warning about existing location (with & with out sudo
):
ERR! EEXIST: file already exists, symlink '../lib/node_modules/npx/index.js' -> '/Users/plucks/.nvm/versions/node/v14.15.4/bin/npx' npm ERR! File exists: /Users/plucks/.nvm/versions/node/v14.15.4/bin/npx npm ERR! Remove the existing file and try again, or run npm npm ERR! with --force to overwrite files recklessly.
Is there anything I can do so the programs like VSCode & GitHub Desktop can run?
I had to combine the answers of Cathal and Misol.
I did not want to edit the .husky/pre-commit
like Cathal for two reasons:
So I added a global ~/.config/husky/init.sh
(or ~/.huskyrc
in Husky versions < v9) file like Misol did with the following contents:
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh"
. "$(dirname $NVM_DIR)/nvm.sh"
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
a=$(nvm ls | grep 'node')
b=${a#*(-> }
v=${b%%[)| ]*}
export PATH="$NVM_DIR/versions/node/$v/bin:$PATH"
