pre-commit works fine, but git commit fails

Question

so in my project, there are serveral pre-commit hooks to make sure our codes meet team standard, but whenever i try to commit changes, there is always an error saying executable was not found. usually, i first assumed there must be some problem with PATH environment variable value, but it's the only acutal git commit command that causes the issue.

yunu@LAPTOP-8FK6RMJ8:/mnt/d/Projects/xyz/idl$ pre-commit
Fix End of Files.........................................................Passed
Trim Trailing Whitespace.................................................Passed
yamllint.............................................(no files to check)Skipped

yunu@LAPTOP-8FK6RMJ8:/mnt/d/Projects/xyz/idl$ git commit
Fix End of Files.........................................................Passed
Trim Trailing Whitespace.................................................Passed
yamllint.............................................(no files to check)Skipped
ensure buf...............................................................Failed
- hook id: ensure-buf
- exit code: 1

Executable `task` not found

buf check lint...........................................................Failed
- hook id: buf-lint
- exit code: 1

Executable `buf` not found

buf check breaking.......................................................Failed
- hook id: buf-breaking
- exit code: 1

Executable `buf` not found

and i can run the commands which were said to be not found right after this.
i can see that bash identifies these commands just fine.

yunu@LAPTOP-8FK6RMJ8:/mnt/d/Projects/xyz/idl$ buf
Usage:
  buf [command]

Available Commands:
  check           Run lint or breaking change checks.
  experimental    Experimental commands. Unstable and will likely change.
  help            Help about any command
  image           Work with Images and FileDescriptorSets.
  ls-files        List all Protobuf files for the input location.
  protoc          High-performance protoc replacement.

Flags:
  -h, --help                help for buf
      --log-format string   The log format [text,color,json]. (default "color")
      --log-level string    The log level [debug,info,warn,error]. (default "info")
      --timeout duration    The duration until timing out. (default 2m0s)
  -v, --version             version for buf

Use "buf [command] --help" for more information about a command.
yunu@LAPTOP-8FK6RMJ8:/mnt/d/Projects/xyz/idl$

so what would be the issue? does git command use different kind of PATH of its own?

i'm running this on ubuntu wsl on windows 10.

thanks for the help, it results same problem as it happend in git commit, error message shows multiple commands were not found. was i running wrong command whole this time? — yunu, Aug 25 '20 at 05:28
Can it work if `buf` and `task` are replaced with their full paths in `pre-commit`? — ElpieKay, Aug 25 '20 at 06:29

it was solved after i removed .git/hooks/pre-commit and run pre-commit install again. Now i can use git commit command without trouble.

For me, all I had to do was restart PyCharm

I was getting the same error over and over on VScode; I ended up using hadolint dockerfile instead

so in my pre-commit-config.yaml I have

  - repo: local
    hooks:
    - id: hadolint
      name: hadolint
      entry: hadolint/hadolint:v2.12.1-beta hadolint --ignore DL3008 --no-color
      language: docker_image
      types: [file, dockerfile]

pre-commit works fine, but git commit fails
