Husky 9 hooks not working in Gitkraken

[posti85]

husky@9.0.11
Gitkraken 9.13.0
Windows

I have configured a pre-commit hook in my project with husky. And it works fine commiting through a system terminal. However, when I try to commit through Gitkraken UI, the commit is rejected and its console reports:

C:\path\to\project\.husk\_\pre-commit:
line 2: C:\path\to\project\.husk\_\pre-commit/h: Not a directory
Hook process exited.

I know it could be an issue that has nothing to do with husky, but it worked before when I used husky 8 😣.

Thank you very much.

For any one with the same error: I have removed node_modules folder and reinstalled the project, and now the error became to:

/usr/bin/env: 'bash': No such file or directory
husky - pre-commit script failed (code 127)
husky - command not found in PATH=...
Hook process exited.

But this time, it was easy to fix: just configuring in GitKraken to use the external Windows git (instead of the bundled one) in File > Preferences > Experimental > Git Executable.

And now it works!

I'm having the same issue but unfortunately, nuking node_modules didn't get me anywhere. I also nuked the lock file for good measure, after only nuking node_modules with no change, but that didn't make a difference either.

I'm still having the same error log .husky\_\pre-commit/h: Not a directory\n Hook process exited. I've also confirmed that this issue seems specific to GitKraken by committing via the Windows cmd terminal and everything worked as expected.

• Windows 11 Pro
• GitKraken v9.13.0 (Pro license, if it matters)
  • Changed Settings > Experimental > Git Executable to use the installed version as suggested above, but no difference.
• Git v2.41.0.windows.1
• husky v9.0.11
• node v20.12.2
• npm v10.5.2

Let me know if I missed any relevant environment info.

Also, I realize this is most likely a GitKraken issue, and I've reported this to their support team, but figured it might be worth documenting here as well for posterity.

Thanks!

I figured out what was going on for me.

I'm not sure how it happened, but somehow, the Git Hooks directory configured in GitKraken Settings > Git Hooks > Git Hooks directory was set to .\husky\_.

That seemed odd to me, especially after reading the GitKraken documentation around this, so I changed it to .git\hooks just to see what would happen and it seems to work normally now...

Hopefully, this helps someone else. 🤷
