git husky

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?

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 v6 or greater, do the following:

# For NPM
 npm install husky@6 --save-dev \
      && npx husky-init \
      && npm exec -- github:typicode/husky-4-to-6 --remove-v4-config

# For Yarn
 yarn add husky@6 --dev \
  && npx husky-init \
  && npm exec -- github:typicode/husky-4-to-6 --remove-v4-config
# or
 yarn add husky@6 --dev \
  && yarn dlx husky-init --yarn2 \
  && npm exec -- github:typicode/husky-4-to-6 --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 6.
