Help with bash, git pre-commit script












0















The goal is to exit from the script with a non-zero exit code when committing package-lock.json with no associated changes to package.json being committed.



#!/bin/bash

# exits with 1 if there were differences and 0 means no differences
file_changed() {
git diff --quiet --exit-code "$1"
}

# exits with 1 if no lines were selected, 0 if one or more lines selected, > 1 if error
file_staged() {
git diff --name-only --cached | grep -q "$1"
}

# package-lock.json has changed and
# package-lock.json in staged files and
# package.json not in staged files?
if file_changed "package-lock.json" -eq 1 &&
file_staged "package-lock.json" -eq 0 &&
file_staged "package.json" -eq 1
then
echo "attempted commit of package-lock.json without changes to package.json!"
exit 1
fi


I'm fairly certain the problem lies in my files_staged function. When testing file_staged "package-lock.json" -eq 0, I get the expected results. When testing file_staged "package.json" -eq 1, it always fails.



Simplifying the problem, I can never get this condition to trigger when package.json is not in the list of files returned by git diff --name-only --cached:



if file_staged "package.json" -eq 1; then
echo "got here."
fi


Where am I going wrong?

None of the conditions in your if construct work. Since you aren't using a test command (test, [, [[) you are simply testing the return status of your function.



Example:



$ test () { echo 0; }
$ if test -eq 1; then echo yes; fi
0
yes
$ if test -eq 10; then echo yes; fi
0
yes
$ if test -eq 100000000000; then echo yes; fi
0
yes


The -eq ... is being treated as an option to the test function, and that function is returning 0 so it's being treated as a success.



You want to use a test command:



if [[ $(file_changed "package-lock.json") -eq 1 &&
$(file_staged "package-lock.json") -eq 0 &&
$(file_staged "package.json") -eq 1 ]]
then
echo "attempted commit of package-lock.json without changes to package.json!"
exit 1
fi
