Bitbucket pipeline - error installing pre-commit ts-lint

Question

I have a step in my pipeline that runs our configured pre-commit on Bitbucket:

...
- step:
    name: Passing linters
    image: python:3.7-slim-stretch
    script:
      - pip3 install "pre-commit==2.17.0"
      - apt-get update && apt-get --assume-yes install git
      - pre-commit run --all-files

No changes were made but it suddenly stopped working.

The pipeline result:

+ pre-commit run --all-files

pre-commit utilizes nodeenv to bootstrap node environments

it does this by downloading a copy of node and provisioning an environment (when node is not available). a few days ago node 18.x was released and the prebuilt binaries require a relatively-recent version of glibc

there's a few ways you can work around this:

1. select a specific version of node using language_version / default_language_version

# using default_language_version
default_language_version:
    node: 16.14.2

# on the hook itself
repos:
-   repo: https://github.com/maximevast/pre-commit-tslint
    rev: ...
    hooks:
    -   id: tslint
        language_version: 16.14.2

2. use a newer base image

stretch is a bit old, perhaps try instead 3.7-slim-buster instead ?

this will get you a more modern version of glibc

    image: python:3.7-slim-buster

3. install node into your image

this will skip the "download node" step of pre-commit by default (specifically it'll default to language_version: system when a suitable node is detected)

this will vary based on your image setup
