* The commit-msg hook is not invoked by git-merge as specified in documentation @ 2020-06-03 12:46 Kalle Kromann 2020-06-03 19:28 ` Junio C Hamano 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: Kalle Kromann @ 2020-06-03 12:46 UTC (permalink / raw) To: git@vger.kernel.org Hello, At least two places in the git docs it is specified that the hook "commit-msg" is invoked by both git-commit and git-merge. https://git-scm.com/docs/githooks#_commit_msg https://git-scm.com/docs/git-merge#Documentation/git-merge.txt---no-verify I'm experiencing a different behavior however. The hook seems to work fine on git-commit, but is not invoked by git-merge. When I use git-merge my text editor opens with the default message, but when I close the editor the hook is not invoked as I would expect. For reference, the prepare-commit-msg hook works with both commands as expected. Is there something subtle I'm overlooking? Of course a fast forward merge should not invoke the commit-msg hook, because no commit is made. But in my tests with non FF-merges the hook is still not invoked.

On what platform, and which version of Git are we talking about? What is the difference between these two hooks? I.e. perhaps $ ls -l .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg .git/hooks/commit-msg tells you some subtle differences between the two? > Of course a fast forward merge should not invoke the commit-msg > hook, because no commit is made. But in my tests with non > FF-merges the hook is still not invoked. Other than the last one, nothing comes to my mind. And it does not reproduce for me. I just did this: $ echo exit 1 >.git/hooks/commit-msg $ chmod +x .git/hooks/commit-msg $ git checkout master^0 $ git merge ds/line-log-on-bloom ... editor launches and I save the message ... Auto-merging revision.c Auto-merging line-log.c Auto-merging bloom.h Auto-merging bloom.c Not committing merge; use 'git commit' to complete the merge. The last line comes from builtin/merge.c::abort_commit(), which is called from this piece of code in builtin/merge.c::prepare_to_commit() if (run_commit_hook(0 < option_edit, get_index_file(), "prepare-commit-msg", git_path_merge_msg(the_repository), "merge", NULL)) abort_commit(remoteheads, NULL); if (0 < option_edit) { if (launch_editor(git_path_merge_msg(the_repository), NULL, NULL)) abort_commit(remoteheads, NULL); } if (!no_verify && run_commit_hook(0 < option_edit, get_index_file(), "commit-msg", git_path_merge_msg(the_repository), NULL)) abort_commit(remoteheads, NULL); I do not have prepare-commit-msg, and my launch_editor() thing successfully returned, and the call to abort_commit() is cleraly coming from the last line, where run_commit_hook() noticed that the commit-msg hook ran and reported a failure. After this, I did this to just confirm: $ echo exit 0 >.git/hooks/commit-msg $ git reset --hard $ git merge ds/line-log-on-bloom This time, instead of "Not committing...", I got Merge made by the 'recursive' strategy. followed by the usual diffstat. The above demonstrates that commit-msg does run well enough to cause its exit status affects the outcome in both cases. For fun, I tried another. $ echo exit 1 >.git/hooks/commit-msg $ chmod -x .git/hooks/commit-msg $ git reset --hard master $ GIT_EDITOR=: git merge ds/line-log-on-bloom Auto-merging revision.c Auto-merging line-log.c Auto-merging bloom.h Auto-merging bloom.c hint: The '.git/hooks/commit-msg' hook was ignored because it's not set as executable. hint: You can disable this warning with `git config advice.ignoredHook false`. Merge made by the 'recursive' strategy. ... diffstat follows ... So... ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Sorry for not including it originally, the platform I was using to test was WSL (Windows subsystem for Linux). And the git version was the latest available from apt-get in WSL, 2.7.4. It seems like one of these things is affecting the execution of the hook. I just did the exact same test in Cygwin with git version 2.17 and it works as expected here. Do you know if it's a recent change that git-merge should invoke the hook as well? Or do you think it is related to using git in WSL? Thanks again!

Wow, that's ancient. "git merge" started calling commit-msg hook f8b86359 (builtin/merge: honor commit-msg hook for merges, 2017-09-07), which first appeared in 2.15 (from Oct 2017, that is also ancient in Git timescale) IIUC. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
