Try to use the following config:

"lint-staged": {
  "gitDir": "./path/to/packagejson/",
  "linters" : {  
    "*.js": [
      "eslint --fix",
      "git add"
    ]
  }
}

thanks for reporting this!
can you paste your package.json here as an additional information?

The config is malformed and missing linters property. Please refer to https://github.com/okonet/lint-staged#advanced-config-format

@okonet Thanks for responding - but linters property is optional no?

I'm sorry but did you exactly write this line in your config?

"gitDir": "./path/to/packagejson/",

luftywiranda13 on 29 Aug 2017

No, no, this is the path to my package.json.
Sorry for not being clear

Not unless you use the advanced format i.e. if you have anything more than just linters, you have to defined them explicitly. In your case, you want to set gitDir so you _have_ to use advanced config.

I'll try to get config validation done soon since it is the most common source of issues.

Try to use the following config:

"lint-staged": {
  "gitDir": "./path/to/packagejson/",
  "linters" : {  
    "*.js": [
      "eslint --fix",
      "git add"
    ]
  }
}

Thanks for your answer - But still get the same the error.

chenop on 30 Aug 2017

I'm not sure but it looks like you pointing it to the wrong place. gitDir should be pointed to the root of your project I.e. Where the .git directory is.

okonet on 30 Aug 2017

Oh, So maybe I misunderstood the gitDir definition, checking

chenop on 30 Aug 2017

Yes, indeed I was setting the path from .git to package.json, while I was needed to set the path from package.json to .git folder.
Its was stupid mistake but maybe its worth validate the gitDir property and produce appropriate error message.
Sorry to bother you - I appreciate the support!

chenop on 30 Aug 2017

Glad you were able to get it sorted!
