Executable `goimports` not found

When running golang pre hook commit I am getting the above error. I did try to install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports but it still gives me the error. Any suggestion how to resolve this will be appreciated

Answer 1

it looks like goimports needs to be installed and managed externally to pre-commit (escaping the normal supported pathway)

from the readme

• go-imports - Runs goimports , requires golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports

so you'll need to make sure that tool is installed and globally available
