Git Hooks inside PyCharm running in incorrect environment

PyCharm doesn't run git hooks under the virtual environment. The relevant ticket in the bug tracker: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-12988

It seems that the aforementioned PyCharm ticket won't be fixed soon (it's there since 2014).

This hack below works for me; I added this to the PyCharm ticket:

This is a slightly annoying workaround that works for me:

1. Close PyCharm.
2. cd /your/project/dir
3. Open PyCharm from the command line: PYENV_VERSION="$(pyenv local | head -1)" open /Applications/PyCharm.app/. I'm using macOS, you should adapt the open command to your OS.

I have to do it every time I switch projects, otherwise the pylintpre-commit hook doesn't work. If you have a similar config for your projects (Python version and not using PyLint), just run PyCharm from the CLI once.

Here's what worked for me.

I was getting the following error:

18:37   Commit failed with error            0 file committed, 1 file failed to commit: Update pre-commit hooks            env: python3.7: No such file or directory

When I navigated to .git/hooks/pre-commit in my project repo, it turned out that the shebang line is #!/usr/bin/env python3.7.

This was an issue, since calling python3.7 on my MacOS would end up with the following:

zsh: command not found: python3.7

I could have either added a global python3.7 or, alternatively, updated the shebang. I went with the latter one and changed the shebang line to:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

This resolved the issue for me.
