Error when package.json not found

[alleypa]

Pre-git breaks the .git hooks because it always require to look for ./node_modules in the root app. However our application as been restructured to enforce MAVEN strict folder structure. Hence we now put all our root files under src/main/webapp/. This causes the pre-git to no longer find installed pre hooks easily because it expects them to be under ./node_modules/.bin/pre-commit for example. Can you please take a look.

Not sure how to do this then - should it read the node_modules path from the package.json maybe? If that's there. I would be open to you making the code changes and sending me a pull request.

I think it should read the node_modules from the path that 'npm install' put the installed libraries instead of always seeking to find the node_modules folder in the root(./). Our package.json now leaves in /src/main/webapp so also is the node_modules folder. This was based on the forced folder structure needed by Maven. Every other node module plugin installed works fine but just the pre-git hence we've lost the benefit of having our code quality check before pushing to remote git.
