Do not pass args into command

Hi, is there any possibility to not pass any arguments into command. I’m using lint-staged like so:

  ...
  "scripts": {
    "build": "gulp build"
    },
    "lint-staged": {
        "resources/assets/client/js/application/**/*.js": [
            "npm run build",
            "eslint --fix",
            "git add"
        ]
    }
   ...

So I dont want to pass files args into my build task because it breaks.
npm run build -- file1.ext file2.ext

You can very simply ignore args. For example:

npm run blah && :

The trailing : is the “no-op” command in Bash. Any args passed to it are always ignored, and it always exits 0.

For example, to use it in lint-staged:

	"lint-staged": {
		"*.{ts,tsx}": [
			"tsc -p ./tsconfig.json --noEmit && :"
		],
	},

that way for example lint-staged will not break the TypeScript tsc command (because passing it files changes the meaning, and in TypeScript you want it to check your whole project otherwise TypeScript won’t detect type errors in files that you didn’t modify in your commit, thus you will introduce errors into your commit).

Also because of the &&, if the tsc command fails, then the whole command will fail and the commit will fail (which is what you want).

@trusktr,

You can very simply ignore args. For example: …

"lint-staged": {
	"*.{ts,tsx}": [
		"tsc -p ./tsconfig.json --noEmit && :"
	],
},

Did you test this example? I tried it and it didn’t do the thing.

I followed through lint-staged source code and it seems like this example should not work.

lint-staged does not look at the command as at bash script. Instead, it thinks of it as a single binary with an array of arguments, so tsc -p ./tsconfig.json --noEmit && : translates into, roughly speaking, execFile('tsc', ['-p', './tsconfig.json', '--noEmit', '&&', ':']). So, && and : are just two another args of tsc command and are just ignored.

It seems like, if you want to ignore staged files as args in case of tsc command, you should use it like this:

"lint-staged": {
    "*.{ts,tsx}": [
        "bash -c \"tsc -p ./tsconfig.json --noEmit\""
    ],
},

Am I missing something?
