How to setup Husky to automate testing, building, and linting
As more and more developers work on a project, it becomes more and more difficult to avoid CI errors, in particular when auto deploying projects from develop to staging
What the want to accomplish
- Avoid the CI pipeline to fail
Install husky and pretty-quick
Husky v4 and above still has some issues regarding the auto discovery of node, in particular when using a GUI git client. Many developers suggest to stick with version 3.x
At first, after the script section of the package.json, let’s put the configuration needed for Husky:
"husky": {
"hooks": {
"pre-commit": "echo 'Running prettier before committing'; pretty-quick --staged",
"pre-push": "echo 'Running tests for project buildability'; quasar build"
}
},
Then we can install husky and pretty-quick (the latter to auto commit prettified files)
npm i --save-dev husky@3 pretty-quick
Tips
You can run npm rebuild to reinstall git commit hooks if for any reason the installation failed.
