[BUG] [Docker] Husky fail to install on docker image

[Th3S4mur41]

Husky from @typicode is added as devDependency with a prepare script to install the hooks according to documentation.

The prepare step fails on the mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:focal container due to missing permissions.

Github Actions job is configured as follow:

  test:
    runs-on: [self-hosted, linux]
    container: mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:focal
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - run: npm ci --no-optional --no-audit --prefer-offline --progress=false
      - run: HOME=/root npm run test:playwright

This is the error ouptut from the CI:

prepare
> husky install

        throw e;

The same script runs fine on e.g. node:lts-buster container

Would it be possible that you could create a minimum reproducible in form of a GitHub repository for us?

@mxschmitt I'll give it a try

I was able to track it a little bit down. When using Node.js 14/15 inside the Docker container, it works correctly. You can install Node.js 14 there with the following commands:

apt-get remove nodejs
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs

I used

- uses: actions/setup-node@v2 
        with:
          node-version: '14'

Works too 😀
Thanks

Closed since we switched to Node.js 14 in #7212
