Issue with husky install in post install script

[cole-adams]

I'm attempting to upgrade to the latest version of this package, and I'm getting the following error:

npm ERR! code 127
npm ERR! path <project>/node_modules/add-asset-html-webpack-plugin
npm ERR! command failed
npm ERR! command sh -c husky install
npm ERR! sh: husky: command not found

We don't use husky in our project. I notice the post install script for this package is husky install which I believe is no longer best practice for husky.

Is there any way to resolve this?

I encounter almost the same problem.

then when executing npm install , i run git init in the node_modules/add-asset-html-webpack-plugin directory, then npm install success.

Then i remove the whole node_modules directory, and try again, it's supposed to be failed again, but amazing, it success, and i do not known why

Same issue here. I had to downgrade to 3.2.2.

Still happening! Can't even use patch-package. I tried.

This package is completely broken!

[cha0s]

For anyone totally lost, the only way to make this package work is to do e.g.

npm install --save-dev husky

in your project. Fortunately, it's a pretty small package!

[SimenB]

Hmm, this shouldn't be an issue as I've got pinst setup. And I can see in the published artifact that postinstall is renamed correctly to _postinstall so that it shouldn't run.

What version are you attempting to install?

[cha0s]

Sorry, I'm not using webpack anymore. I'm not sure what the issue is/was.

In a package with a transitive dependency on ^6.0.0, installation via npm i fails with the following in the error log:

This package installs cleanly without errors with yarn v1 or with npm i --ignore-scripts. Environment details:

mkdir test && cd test && npm init -y && npm install --save-dev add-asset-html-webpack-plugin works fine... Do you have a reproduction?

[zburke]

@SimenB : Here are reproduction steps:

git clone [email protected]:folio-org/stripes-core.git
cd stripes-core
echo "@folio:registry = https://repository.folio.org/repository/npm-folioci/" >> .npmrc
npm install

add-asset-html-webpack-plugin comes into this package, @folio/stripes-core, transitively through @folio/stripes-cli and @folio/stripes-webpack. I don't think we're doing anything interesting in stripes-webpack; it's just a regular ol' dep in package.json. Our current build pipeline uses yarn v1 but we're trying to migrate back to npm.

Related issues:

• [BUG] "_postinstall" script unexpectedly runs after install npm/cli#7322 closed with "I'll write a better follow-up" ... but now follow-up 😢 .
• Installation fails with npm v10.x bun913/textlint-rule-aws-service-name#96, resolved in fix: husky setting bun913/textlint-rule-aws-service-name#97 by migrating from postinstall to prepare since they build with npm, rather than yarn.
• npx create-eth@latest fails on node v20+ scaffold-eth/create-eth#49 resolved by migrating away from husky.

This is strange. It does feel like a bug in NPM >= 10.4.0, but as noted in the npm issue, then its impact should be bigger.
