Can't find java

[marchchad]

Just installed this extension on Windows using WSL2 and noticed it wasn't loading. I found the output for the extension and saw these errors logged.

Nowhere in the extension overview does it say java is a dependency.

Its just a warning, git hooks can be written in any language for giving shell path suggestion, we are executing which java command, may be that user doest have read and write permissions for hook directory, because there is an error reading the hook•directory

I gave up on using the extension and uninstalled it.

Sorry to hear that 🥲, if you can provide more details about your hookDir permissions we can resolve the issue or

It's okay thank you for raising the issue and sorry I am unable to solve it

if you are no longer interested in using it please feel free to close the issue thank you 🙂

Yeah no problem. Here's the perms for my .git/hooks dir for the repo I was trying to use this extension for:

I do have interest in getting this to work, I just haven't had the time to solve it on my own.

your hooks directory looks

• I will try to replicate this issue on wsl VM which I have, and would you like to share your git version because git > 2.41 has a command to run hooks directly with git hook run <hook-name>
