Node.js v17.2.0

Expected behavior

simple-git-hooks should run correctly using npx or npm exec locally.

Actual behavior

Running npx -y simple-git-hooks or npm exec -y -- simple-git-hooks@latest throws error.

Debugging details

$ npx -y envinfo

Thanks for the detailed report, seems like an issue with package.json resolver. Gonna look into it on weekends

It doesn't seem to happen with newer versions of npx though.

Any updates?

I havent worked on this specific issue. Do you happen to encounter the same bug?

Yes, This is the only way I can set it up to prevent pipeline interruptions "prepare": "npx simple-git-hooks || true"

[toplenboren]

Yes, This is the only way I can set it up to prevent pipeline interruptions "prepare": "npx simple-git-hooks || true"

Hey, can you please share some info on environment? Do you have package.json file in pipeline?

In the meantime... I think I'll cook a way to make script fail silently if package.json is not found..

my host machine is running on node v14.21.3 (npm v6.14.18), my pipline flow looks something like this, "prepare": "npx simple-git-hooks || true", "prepublishOnly": "pnpm install && pnpm build" npx simple-git-hooks will execute before pnpm install, and I can replicate this on my mac;

[toplenboren]

Thanks for the info!

Can you please provide one small detail: script crashes because it couldn't find package.json file.. Do you have package.json file inside your file system in your pipeline?

Yes It exists, otherwise npm hooks will not execute.
