husky > pre-commit hook failed (add --no-verify to bypass)

Question

Suddenly I am getting the "husky > pre-commit hook failed (add --no-verify to bypass)" error message when I give the git commit.

I don't know what I am doing wrong. I tried git clean command too. Anyone faced similar issue?

Answer 1

Husky can prevent you from bad git commit, git push and more. If you are getting this error check your code syntax. In case you are getting this error even if your code is valid, please use the below solution.

#Solution 1:

Delete the .git/hooks folder and then do the npm install for reinstall husky. There are chances for conflicts with husky-generated files and .git/hooks/ files.

#Solution 2:

this is a temporary/quick solution.

git commit -m "message" --no-verify

Answer 2

The Comment by @Elio is a much preferred solution, as --no-verify is skipping whatever scripts that should run.

I assume here that if the scripts are there it is for a reason...

Therefore:

You can also delete the .git/hook folder and then uninstall and reinstall husky. There are some conflicts with husky generated files and .git/hook/ files. That worked for me

In my case, the uninstall/re-install was not necessary.
