commitizen produces empty commit message after answering prompts

[Gabriel Valencia]

Description

We set up cz as a husky pre-commit hook but when we go through the prompts via git commit it produces an empty commit message in vim.

These commands were executed to set it up:

npm install --save-dev commitizen
npx commitizen init cz-conventional-changelog --save-dev --save-exact
npx husky-init && npm install 

Our .husky/prepare-commit-msg:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
. "$(dirname -- "$0")/_/husky.sh"

echo '[husky] Running commitizen for prepare-commit-msg hook...'
exec < /dev/tty && npx cz --hook || true

Steps to reproduce

1. Execute git commit.
2. Answer the cz prompts.
3. A vim editor is opened.

Current behavior

The vim editor has an empty commit message and commitizen errors out due to an empty commit message.

Desired behavior

commitizen produces a commit message using information entered in prompts.

Only use alias

1. use npm script and run npm cz like:

{
  "cz": "git commit -m ''"
}

2. Add ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc alias fn

git() {
  local _cmd="$*"
  if [ "$1" = "commit" ] && [ "${_cmd%%"--help"}" = "$_cmd"  ]; then
    shift 1; command git commit -m ''
  else
    command git "$@"
  fi
}

@gee4vee Has this issue been resolved? I have the same problem and very confused, what is the cause of this problem

@gee4vee Hi, you can try to upgrade your git to the latest version. My problem has been solved by upgrading git. The cause of the problem should be that the hook of git commit bash is not compatible with commitizen and husky.
