error obtaining VCS status: exit status

describe your issue

I was just running the pre-commit checks. It looks like the failures started after the update.

git commit -am "My ultimate commit"

Output:

Most upvoted comments

I’m encountering this now.

Workaround

I’m able to circumvent this problem by committing once like so:

GOFLAGS=-buildvcs=false git commit -av

After this succeeded, if I run pre-commit clean && pre-commit install-hooks, I don’t see the error again. I’d expect to see it, so I might be doing something odd here. I expected to have to do

GOFLAGS=-buildvcs=false pre-commit install-hooks

after pre-commit clean.

Research and observations

Some research indicates that it’s related to one or more of the following:

go 1.18 embeds git information at build time
The build directory needing to be in git’s safe.directory

Possible remedies

Do what it says on the tin: add -buildvcs=false here, perhaps with end-user control of it
Maybe the there needs to be a go get && git config --global --add safe.directory ${where_go_get_put_it} && go install ${where_go_get_put_it}; I’m not a Go dev so 🤷

I can try. I’ve not used strace before, though.

One thing I’ve noticed on this Linux system is that if I run pre-commit install-hooks, the checkmake hook will install correctly and run fine next time I run git commit.

If I run pre-commit clean and then git commit, pre-commit prepares the hooks and fails with the above error. If I then run pre-commit install-hooks and try to commit again, it works.

What’s the difference in environment between when pre-commit needs to install hooks at commit time versus what happens when install-hooks does its thing?

I’ve run into the same problem, this post actually fixed the issue for me too. So running

Running pre-commit install-hooks for some reason is able to download the go-modules when pre-commit is not possible to do so when just running a normal git commit command

finally a reproduction! thank you this should be easy enough to fix with the git helper

I’m running into the same issue while running git commit

on macOS Ventura 13.4.1,
using pre-commit 3.2.0,
and git 2.35.1.

This workaround worked for me: prefix the git commit command with GOFLAGS=-buildvcs=false.
