Error: `/bin/sh: [filepath]: Permission denied`

Description

An error of type /bin/sh: [filepath]: Permission denied happens when executing lint-staged from the root folder on files located in a subfolder.

I have a root folder with two subfolders. Each subfolder has the linting and formatting packages and configurations. The root folder has Husky and lint-staged.

    .
    ├── backend
    │    ├── (config files for backend folder)
    │    ├── node_modules (includes ESLint and Prettier)
    │    ├── package-lock.json
    │    └── package.json
    ├── frontend
    │    ├── (config files for frontend folder)
    │    ├── node_modules (includes ESLint and Prettier)
    │    ├── package-lock.json
    │    └── package.json
    ├── node_modules (includes Husky and lint-staged)
    ├── package-lock.json
    └── package.json

In the root folder package.json I have the following scripts:

"scripts": {
    "lint": "concurrently \"cd backend && npm run lint\" \"cd frontend && npm run lint\"",
    "format": "concurrently \"cd backend && npm run format\" \"cd frontend && npm run format\""
  },
  "husky": {
    "hooks": {
      "pre-commit": "lint-staged"
    }
  },
  "lint-staged": {
    "(backend|frontend)/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}": ["npm run lint"],
    "(backend|frontend)/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx,html,css,json,md,yaml,yml,graphql}": ["npm run format"]
  },

Running npm run lint or npm run format in the terminal works correctly, but they fail when running with lint staged.

I tried to solve it by following the process for multi package repos without Lerna, but no luck.

I found the issue mate. It’s because of concurrently. when concurrently runs one script for the file, that file gets locked and another script can’t be run with lint-staged. I replaced "lint": "concurrently \"cd backend && npm run lint\" \"cd frontend && npm run lint\"", with "backend-lint": "npm run lint-backend-fix --prefix backend",

and add lint-backend-fix script in backend/package.json "lint-backend-fix": "npm run lint && npm run format"

and do the similar with frontend change lint-staged with only two scripts, like backend-lint and frontend-fix

[nirvparekh]

adding --shell did not worked for me.
