Can't get Husky v6 to work with fnm

[rfgamaral]

I use ZSH and here's how I set up fnm on ~/.zshrc:

eval "$(fnm env --shell=zsh --use-on-cd --log-level=quiet)"

Now I'm trying to set up Git hooks with the latest Husky version, but I can't get them to work. If I commit from my shell, everything works as expected. If I commit from an application, I get this:

Then I followed Husky's instructions to fix this issue, and I have added fnm env --shell=zsh to ~/.huskyrc, but then I got this

Not sure how to fix this...

What do you mean "from an application"? A CI step? Try

eval "$(fnm env)"

Another option is to fnm exec -- npx ...

[rfgamaral]

From a desktop application. I've used SmartGit in the examples above. I'll try the eval one when possible, and report back.

I can't do the other suggestion because that would change it for the whole team and not everyone uses fnm.

@Schniz That solved it, and it makes sense, it was stupid of me to do it without eval 🤦‍♂️

However, I had a different problem after that... You see, I'm using fnm inside WSL2, and SmartGit (and Fork) on Windows, with wslgit to call git inside WSL, which in turn will use fnm. The problem is the following line generated by fnm env:

export PATH="/tmp/fnm_multishell_20645_1618069942301/bin":$PATH

This is problematic because $PATH contains a lot of Windows paths with spaces, and that command breaks. I'm wondering if you could change it to:

export PATH="/tmp/fnm_multishell_20645_1618069942301/bin:$PATH"

I simulated this on my .huskyrc file (instead of fnm env and it finally worked without issues.

Any chance you can make that change so that spaces in $PATH work correctly?

Hmm makes sense! What do you say about contributing it? Should be fairly easy and you will leave a mark 😃

Let's convince them to use it 😈😈 why won't they use fnm? Is something missing or does not work for them?

I looked at the code, but I have not idea what to do, I don't know Rust, and unfortunately I don't have much time to dig into the source code now :(

I don't know, never had that conversation. I believe some use it, some use something else, and some probably use nothing. I've recommended it in the past, but I have no idea who started using it and who didn't 😅

FYI, I have temporarily solved this issue on my side by loading fnm like this:

eval "$(fnm env --shell=zsh --log-level=quiet | sed -e 's/PATH="\(.*\)":\$PATH/PATH="\1:$PATH"/g')"

I also did something similar as a workaround for Git Bash in #390.

Putting eval "$(fnm env --log-level=quiet)" in ~/.huskyrc (not ~/.zshrc) worked for me.

[ImBIOS]

eval "$(fnm env --shell=zsh --log-level=quiet | sed -e 's/PATH="(.*)":\$PATH/PATH="\1:$PATH"/g')"

/.huskyrc: line 2: fnm: command not found

[Robokishan]

same here same issue fnm command not found

@ImBIOS @Robokishan This is not an fnm issue, but rather how you configured husky. You may want to take a look at the husky docs: https://typicode.github.io/husky/troubleshooting.html#command-not-found

I have this in my ~/.huskyrc file:

eval "$(fnm env)"

If husky is not able to find fnm, you should follow the procedure specific to your OS to add it to the path (or do it in .huskyrc).

This issue should be closed.

Note on the info above: ~/.huskyrc is deprecated. Use ~/.config/husky/init.sh with newer versions of husky.
