Cz-cli: git-cz.js throwing error. Commit still goes through

[jaylaw81]

Getting the following error after running git cz. version [email protected]

/node_modules/commitizen/dist/cli/strategies/git-cz.js:102
        throw error;

Commit seems to go through, however error doesn't provide much more details.

Hmm, that's no good... Ping @marionebl

[marionebl]

@jaylaw81 could you provide more details?

• OS
• node and npm version
• commitizen adapter in use
• exact command executed
• complete error printout

---

To make debugging for these cases easier we probably should attach stderr to the error object here: https://github.com/commitizen/cz-cli/blob/master/src/git/commit.js#L34

@marionebl I am seeing the same thing. My info is below. It doesn't look too helpful though. I have to call it a night, but if I have time later, I'll make the change locally to include stderr and look for more info.

• OS: OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
• node: v6.3.1
• npm: 3.10.3
• adapter: cz-conventional-changelog
• command: simply git-cz

Error output:

/Users/brandon/src/most-proxy/node_modules/commitizen/dist/cli/strategies/git-cz.js:102
        throw error;
        ^
fix(dependencies): Add most.js to devDependencies

most.js is a development dependency of most-proxy and is now automatically installed with the rest
of the development dependencies.

One more bit of info: I experience the error with 2.8.4 and 2.8.3 but not with 2.8.2. Since 2.8.3 contains a single error-related fix, it seems likely the issue was introduced there.

@brandonpayton Thanks for the enhanced bug report, debugging this right now

[marionebl]

Ok, so this is what happend. With https://github.com/commitizen/cz-cli/commit/0d4e0d591cba474ae451ea53c9db9768257e202b#diff-23495cac1ee02ad0f5c48671e7498c16R69 I added nodeback error handling to the commit callback passed to commitizen adapters.

This was an error on my part – because the current, implicit contract between adapters and commitizen for the commit callback is (commitMessage) => void.

Fixing this now by typechecking arguments[0] in commit
