Common Errors

  • Using alternatives to npm - we have explored using bun but prettier did not work properly with it.

  • We use pre-commit to run pre-commit hooks. If you run into an error like the below, it is likely because you are using 3.12+ (which as of the end of 2023, pre-commit does not support).

[INFO] Installing environment for https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks.
[INFO] Once installed this environment will be reused.
