Gradle auto-installing pre-commit hook

build.gradle

apply from: rootProject.file('gradle/install-git-hooks.gradle')

install-git-hooks.gradle

task installGitHooks(type: Copy) {
    from new File(rootProject.rootDir, 'pre-commit')
    into { new File(rootProject.rootDir, '.git/hooks') }
}

build.dependsOn installGitHooks

# run the tests with the gradle wrapper

# unstash the unstashed changes

# return the './gradlew test' exit code
exit $RESULT

I'm using the Kotlin DSL Gradle.

while I'm trying the same but whenever I make any push to the repo it doesn't trigger.

tasks.register("installGitHook", Copy::class) {
    from(file("$rootDir/.githooks"))
    into(file("$rootDir/.git/hooks"))
    fileMode = 0b0111101101 // -rwxr-xr-x
}
tasks.getByPath(":app:preBuild").dependsOn(tasks.named("installGitHook"))

My pre-push.sh file is inside git-hooks.

#!/bin/sh
echo "*********************************************************"
echo "Running git pre-push hook. Running Static analysis... "
echo "*********************************************************"

./gradlew detekt ktlintCheck --daemon

status=$?

if [ "$status" = 0 ] ; then
    echo "Static analysis found no problems."
    exit 0
else
    echo "*********************************************************"
    echo "       ********************************************      "
    echo 1>&2 "Static analysis found violations it could not fix."
    echo "Run ./gradlew ktlintFormat to fix formatting related issues."
    echo "       ********************************************      "
    echo "*********************************************************"
    exit 1
fi

Where and what I'm doing wrong?

I'm having the same problem. The hook will run properly once it's installed, but it doesn't get installed from preBuild.

@stackunderflows I resolves this issue by defining a executable task for Installing the same. Please find the attach snippets for the same.

// Tasks for automatically installing git-hooks and making it executable also.
tasks.register("installGitHook", Copy::class) {
    from(file("$rootDir/scripts/pre-push"))
    into(file("$rootDir/.git/hooks"))
    fileMode = 0b0111101101 // -rwxr-xr-x
}

tasks.create(name = "gitExecutableHooks") {
    doLast {
        Runtime.getRuntime().exec("chmod -R +x .git/hooks/")
    }
}
tasks.getByPath("gitExecutableHooks").dependsOn(tasks.named("installGitHook"))
tasks.getByPath(":app:clean").dependsOn(tasks.named("gitExecutableHooks"))

This is working like charm !!

Let me know if you still face any issues while doing this.
