commitlint: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'F:\Flat Projects\aquasoft\$GIT_PARAMS' on Windows

Released via 5.2.3

Okay, we’ll have to implement a rather grungy fix for this, along the lines of

function normalizeEdit(edit) {
  if (typeof edit === 'boolean') {
     return edit;
  }
  if (edit === '$GIT_PARARMS' || edit === '%GIT_PARAMS%') {
    if (!'GIT_PARAMS' in process.env) {
       throw new Error(`Received ${edit} as value for -e | --edit, but GIT_PARAMS is not available globally.`);
    }
    return process.env.GIT_PARAMS;
  }
  return edit;
}

@marionbel - done!

@kumarharsh Would you consider contributing a the fix for this as outlined via https://github.com/marionebl/commitlint/issues/103#issuecomment-346318328?

This would spare you from creating the js proxy file you mentioned and benefit other users down the line.

Also failed with this error in git bash on windows "commitmsg": "commitlint -e" works for me

The echo ... command is indeed only tested on bash.

I do not have access to win32 machines very often, so this is hard to test for me.

$GIT_PARAMS is intended to be used with husky. If you do not plan to use husky, just

commitlint -e

should be sufficient.
