Crash when installing: `enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory`

[jamesbraza]

With this pre-commit-config.yaml:

---
default_language_version:
  python: python3
repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/renovatebot/pre-commit-hooks
    rev: 38.124.1
    hooks:
      - id: renovate-config-validator

When installing pre-commit with pre-commit==4.0.1, a coworker of mine is getting this error:

Any ideas what went wrong here? I think Renovate should at least nice-ify the failure message hit

Get the same thing on rev 38.120.1 and 38.124.2 with pre-commit 3.8.0 and 4.0.1.

Running an ubuntu 24.04 LTS image in WSL2.

And this was all working fine a couple of days ago (albeit probably a slightly older rev).

Same here... No idea what's going on

Happen on WSL2 but also when running precommit on Jenkins CI.

    npm error path /home/****/.cache/pre-commit/repob_i34tjc/ode_env-default/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/sprintf-js/dist/.gitattributes
    npm error errno -2
    npm error enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/home/****/.cache/pre-commit/repob_i34tjc/ode_env-default/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/sprintf-js/dist/.gitattributes'
    npm error enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.

Tested rev: 38.120.1 and rev: 38.122.0

[krakeusz]

Same for me. Linux Ubuntu 20.04, pre-commit 2.21.0 and 3.5.0. renovatebot 38.124.1. I had to use pre-commit run to trigger this failure.

[jonesbusy]

Looking at logs

24 verbose os Linux 5.15.133.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2
25 verbose node v23.0.0
26 verbose npm  v10.9.0
27 verbose exit -2

Could it be related to recent Node 23 ? Where is it defined ? renovate ? precommit ?

[jonesbusy]

Temporary workarround

  - repo: https://github.com/renovatebot/pre-commit-hooks
    rev: 38.120.1
    hooks:
      - id: renovate-config-validator
        language_version: 20.18.0

[jamesbraza]

An alternate workaround I rolled yesterday was moving from pre-commit to the GitHub Action https://github.com/suzuki-shunsuke/github-action-renovate-config-validator. My thinking is that one doesn't need to revalidate a Renovate config every commit (as the config is static for 99.9% of commits).

jobs:
  ci:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: suzuki-shunsuke/github-action-renovate-config-validator@v1.1.0

[jonyscathe]

Ok... I had node v18.19.1 installed and was getting this error. I updated node to v23.0.0 and stopped getting this error.

Though now the Installing environment for https://github.com/renovatebot/pre-commit-hooks. step takes a ridiculously long time

[KrzysztofadamBarden-TomTom]

im having similiar issue on ubuntu 22.04, notice that it always cuts a letter */repo******/MISSING_FIRST_LETTER/* in the provided log: npm error enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/Users/user/.cache/pre-commit/repou0t83qeh/ode_env-default/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/sprintf-js/dist/.gitattributes'

cuts n from ode_env-default

[viceice]

there's nothing we maintainer can do here, we don't use this, so it needs a community fix.

[nfelt14]

Perhaps it is a pre-commit or nodeenv issue?
