Husky is a popular tool among developers for automating tasks such as linting code or running tests before each commit, a process also known as ‘pre-commit’ hooks. While it’s typically reliable, some users have reported instances where the Husky pre-commit fails with a code 1 (error). This error can occur due to a number of reasons including issues with file permission, configuration errors or package inconsistencies.
Fundamentally, the Husky pre-commit fails with code 1 (error) is indicative of the pre-commit hook executing a command that returned an error status. Firstly, one of the common root causes can be inadequate file permissions. Ensure to check your project directories and file’s permissions to make sure Husky can execute as expected. Secondly, there could potentially be a problem in the way Husky is configured in your package.json file. Make sure that the scripts are correctly pointed to your tasks.
Lastly, another possibility is due to the ‘lint-staged’ package, which Husky often interacts with. If there’s a mismatch between the version of Husky and ‘lint-staged’ or any other dependencies, this error can show up. In such cases, the solution may involve upgrading or downgrading your packages to restore compatibility. The bottom line is to always keep your tooling up-to-date and consistent – remember, a stitch in time saves nine! By troubleshooting these areas, developers can resolve the issue and continue to leverage Husky’s automated task management capabilities.
