Hooks don't execute on Windows: "%1 is not a valid win32 application"

[Sebastiaan Dammann]

On Windows I'm running into the issue of hooks not properly executing.

Running on:

• Windows Server 2016
• jdk 13.0.1

Configured with:

• gitea - but the repositories are manually mapped using !listmapping because I only need two

Gitea installs some hooks to update its internal metadata. These hooks are bash scripts which are executed in the git-installed Cygwin distribution (bash in cygwin). I believe that is also the solution for this: git hooks are to be executed in a cygwin environment.

Please, try setting pusher: !pushNative {} inside repository: section as a workaround. It expects that git.exe is available on %PATH%.

[Sebastiaan Dammann]

That works fine. Apologies, I must have overlooked it in the documentation.

[Marat Radchenko]

It's not documented :)
