Error：Current directory is not a git directory!

[AlfredMou]

Description

There is an error in v8.2.0，Current directory is not a git directory!

Steps to reproduce

I have this problem when I installed the new version of lint-staged. I think it may be because my .git is in the upper level of the installation directory.
install path：/web-front/src-new/node_modules/lint-staged
.git path: /web-front/.git

Debug Logs

Environment

• OS: macOS High Sierra
• Node.js: v10.14.1
• lint-staged: v8.2.0

Ps

This should be because you changed the way get the .git directory in the new version.

@iiroj could you please check it out?

[jmaczan]

I got the same problem with 8.2.0 on Linux Ubuntu 18.04, node 10.15.3.

[iiroj]

This is probably related to the change I made where the the git directory is determined by running git rev-parse --show-toplevel. It uses the current process.cwd() to spawn the git process through execa.

If it's not working, I’d assume CWD is outside git, or something with husky is messing it up.

Can you debug this by running something like console.log(process.cwd()) — and the git command above — using husky?

Unfortunately I’m not available to work on a fix until next week.

[AlfredMou]

@iiroj execa error。 I do not know why, cwd and command is true, but execa will throw error.

[iiroj]

Can you edit your husky’s pre-commit hook to print out the value of git rev-parse --show-toplevel and paste it here?

You could also edit execGit’s execa call to run ls instead of git, just to make sure execa isn’t running in the wrong directory.

One other debug is to print out process.env.GIT_DIR; this should match your git folder.

EDIT: if you run npx lint-staged manually, is the behaviour the same?

EDIT2: this might be related: DonJayamanne/gitHistoryVSCode#233 (comment)

[carnun]

@iiroj I used your note about DonJayamanne/gitHistoryVSCode#233 (comment) to implement a potential fix. I've added a test case and tested it locally and it all seems to work. I hope I'm not being too presumptuous by opening the PR ;->

PR reference - #628

[iiroj]

@carnun did you test that resolveGitDir does indeed return an incorrect dir if GIT_DIR is set to that (incorrect) value? Would be nice if the fix was this simple. :)

[carnun]

@iiroj I added a console.log to resolveGitDir and checked what happened when I do a git commit from the command line to trigger lint-staged. In this case I see that process.env.GIT_DIR is set and then lint staged fails. Also note that GIT_DIR is definitely not set in my console, so it must be the "git commit" that sets the environment variable. If I run lint-staged from the command line directly then this bug doesn't surface. What actually happens is that the `execa` command fails since `GIT_DIR` is set to the wrong value. Hope this makes sense. Not really sure how to encapsulate all of this in a unit test...

[carnun]

@iiroj the only improvement I can think to add to my PR is to restore process.env.GIT_DIR after resolving the git root dir. I'm just not sure whether that may cause any other issues.

[iiroj]

@carnun execa supports an option extendEnv which is by default true: https://github.com/sindresorhus/execa/blob/master/readme.md#extendenv

Would setting this to false achieve the same effect (by not passing GIT_DIR)?

[carnun]

@iiroj I'll quickly try that and see if it resolves the issue

[carnun]

@iiroj what you actually need to do is pass in env: { GIT_DIR: undefined } let me just check the unit tests and my environment and then I'll update the PR.

[iiroj]

That would be cleaner than mutating process.env! Did you @carnun experience this issue in an actual project? Maybe you could test this locally by linking this repo using yarn/npm link.

[carnun]

@iiroj yeah, I am experiencing this on an actual project - I use lint-staged along with yarn outdated to check whether what I'm pushing up to the project repo is up to date... and then again on CI/CD so this is causing my build pipeline to fail.

To debug it I just hacked node_modules/lint-staged.... I have updated the PR with the cleaner implementation and also (hack) tested this on my actual project.

I see your CI/CD also checks node 8/9 which I haven't checked...

[carnun]

@iiroj for some reason my updated PR fails on node 8 and 9.

This works for node10, but fails on node8 and node9 - #628

    const gitDir = await execGit(['rev-parse', '--show-toplevel'], {
      ...options,
      env: { GIT_DIR: undefined }
    })

This works on node8, node9 and node10 - #629

    delete process.env.GIT_DIR
    const gitDir = await execGit(['rev-parse', '--show-toplevel'], options)

[iiroj]

@carnun I commented directly on the PR #628; I’d prefer that to #629 if it works, but personally am fine with either.

[carnun]

@iiroj agreed, but unfortunately I can't spend more time trying to figure out why #628 fails on node8 and node9. Any chance this could be merged soonish so I can auto-deploy my project again?

@tripodsan that's a pretty old git version! Can you try updating it and see if that itself helps?

it's running in a CI system....but after updating the image to a more recent version it passed:

Note that I'm using Gentoo and I'm sure that I have some outdated packages, but git and the currently available lint-staged is not one of them

Edit: ./node_modules/.bin is in my path

[lezsakdomi]

After further investigations, I found out that only the following versions fail:

• 10.0.1
• 10.0.2
• 10.0.3
• 10.0.4

10.0.0 and 10.0.5 works fine

Running yarn upgrade lint-staged resolved the issue for me.

[bchenSyd]

what if i'm using cygwin?

$ git rev-parse --show-toplevel
/cygdrive/c/workSpace/my-project



> process.cwd()
'C:\\workSpace\\my-project'

it won't match as cygwin has remapped file path

[bchenSyd]

figured it out.....

I am getting this error currently in a project using bun, but only on Linux, not on MacOS.

Linux setup:
git: 2.39.2
lint-staged: 15.0.2
bun: 1.0.7

MacOS setup:
git: 2.42.0
lint-staged: 15.0.2
bun: 1.0.7

On Mac, the checks work correctly. On Linux, I get Current directory is not a git directory!

The project is in a subdirectory of another repo, so if repo base is /home/me/project, I am running bunx lint-staged from /home/me/project/suba/subb. For what it's worth, git rev-parse --show-toplevel shows /home/me/project as expected.

[iiroj]

@mrdomino Bun must do something different than Node.js... I can't say lint-staged supports Bun because I haven't ever tested it. Can you first try upgrading Git to the latest version?

[mrdomino]

Ah, never mind, I found the culprit. I had a complicated git setup and long story short, I did a rm .git/config while trying to reset my hooks path.
