How to fix error 'not found husky-run' when committing new code?

Question

When committing on a project that uses Husky, I get an error that says not found husky-run

I checked the package.json and it has husky as a dependency, and I can see the pre-commit hook configuration for Husky in the package.json. So I don't know what to do to fix this. Additionally, other members on my team can commit and husky works for them.

I also tried rm -rf node_modules && npm install and then committing again, but still, I get the same error.

Anyone else have ideas on how to fix this?

Answer 1

To fix this there are two methods, depending on which version of Husky you are already on.

If you're using Husky v4 or lower, do the following:

rm -rf .git/hooks npm install 

For Husky v7 or greater, do the following:

# For NPM  npm install husky@7 --save-dev \       && npx husky-init \       && npm exec -- github:typicode/husky-4-to-7 --remove-v4-config  # For Yarn  yarn add husky@7 --dev \   && npx husky-init \   && npm exec -- github:typicode/husky-4-to-7 --remove-v4-config # or  yarn add husky@7 --dev \   && yarn dlx husky-init --yarn2 \   && npm exec -- github:typicode/husky-4-to-7 --remove-v4-config 

At this point you should be able to commit and have your hooks working again.

If anything goes wrong, please read the documentation for migration from 4 to 7.
