Git pre-commit hook not running on windows

Question

I\'m just starting to look into Git hooks, but I can\'t seem to get them to run.

I set up a local repository, so there is now a \'.git\' directory in my project folder.

Answer 1

If it helps anyone: I was getting following error:

error: cannot spawn .git/hooks/pre-commit: No error

Turned out that in my pre-commit file I did not have 'newline' character after last exit command:

#!/bin/sh
# From gist at https://gist.github.com/chadmaughan/5889802

# stash any unstaged changes
git stash -q --keep-index

# run the tests with the gradle wrapper
./gradlew test --daemon

# store the last exit code in a variable
RESULT=$?

# unstash the unstashed changes
git stash pop -q

# return the './gradlew test' exit code
exit $RESULT
# << must have a newline after above command >> 

I was running gradle project on windows and gradle commands in cmder shell and cmd
