Why is my Ruby Git script hook run with the wrong $PATH?

Question

I\'m using RVM. I wrote a Git pre-commit hook for a project:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

puts RUBY_VERSION
puts `echo $PATH`
exit(1)

Answer 1

you need to set ruby to a wrapper:

#!$rvm_path/wrappers/ruby-2.0.0-p195/ruby

You can simplify it with an alias:

rvm alias create git_hooks 2.0.0-p195

And then the ne shebang will look like this:

#!$rvm_path/wrappers/git_hooks/ruby

In the file just make sure to replace $rvm_path with /Users/mgoerlich/.rvm so finally it looks like:

#!/Users/mgoerlich/.rvm/wrappers/git_hooks/ruby
