My co-worker is facing an error while trying to run cypress through vscode -> git bash (Im guessing vscode uses git bash for the git tab). I have set up the project using husky to run cypress tests before commiting (pre commit hook). Everything when manually running every single command in powershell. But when using the git tab in vscode it fails with the following error. Havent used Windows for some years, and i am not really sure whats going on. There are none

start-cypress

file next to

index.jsc

and couldnt find it anywhere in the server package. Havent been able to find any related issues.

bash
$ C:\Users\{user}\Documents\code\vue-webapp\node_modules\.bin\cypress run --e2e
Error: Cannot find module './start-cypress'

Hi @ambitious-animal-14300 There are quite a few "gotchas" on Windows with Husky. Which version of Husky are you using?

It seems to have been resolved twice. yarn.lock

husky@^4.3.0:
  version "4.3.8"
husky@^8.0.3:
  version "8.0.3"

package.json

json
{
  "devDependencies": {
    "husky": "^8.0.3",
  }
}

Thanks for confirmation that you are working with "modern" Husky! I'm guessing that your issue is due to path problems. You might find some answers to your VSCode issue in https://github.com/typicode/husky/issues. Due to related issues, when I'm working on Windows I have Husky disabled with environment variable

HUSKY=0

. There are too many issues with paths and different

bash

versions, which gets worse if you have WSL enabled. I work with

git

at the CLI level and GitHub Desktop as a UI. I don't use VSCode to commit. If necessary I run the equivalent of the Husky pre-commit commands by hand. For serious stuff I move to Ubuntu 🙂 !

Thanks. Ill take a look at husky issues. Otherwise he will have to learn git cli. Thank you for your time 🙂
