more reliably disable husky for ci/cd environments

[dlants]

Description

@newrelic/node-native-metrics is a dependency of one of my projects. When running yarn install --verbose on the project, building node-native-metrics failed with:

> yarn install --verbose

...

16:17:33 make: Leaving directory '/home/ubuntu/.cache/yarn/v6/.tmp/cded8684755c48d23b0d82fdddbfc97a.d0b66af020795b3a6552ea31dd3d07b1ba1471ef.prepare/node_modules/@newrelic/native-metrics/build'
16:17:33 gyp info ok 
16:17:33 install successful: _newrelic_native_metrics-7_1_2-native_metrics-83-linux-x64

16:17:33 $ husky install
16:17:33 husky - not a Git repository, skipping hooks installation

It seems like yarn tried to run the prepare script, which tried to run husky install. That in turn failed, because it did not find itself in a git repo.

This behavior on husky has been a pain point for many people, and they've tried to fix it a bunch of times, though it seems unreliably:

typicode/husky#851

Their current docs provide several options for how to disable husky in various environments: https://typicode.github.io/husky/#/?id=disable-husky-in-cidockerprod

Expected Behavior

We do not attempt to run husky when installing the package as a dependency.

Your Environment

• yarn 1.22.18
• installing newrelic/native-metrics 7.1.2

I should mention, since this repo uses husky v7, I was able to work around this issue by setting:

export HUSKY_SKIP_INSTALL="true"

Thanks @dlants for capturing this issue. It looks like you found a valid workaround for your issue. I will talk to our PM to discuss getting this prioritized

We also faced similar issue. when we are using jhipster framework application.

npm install -g
./gradlew -Pprod -Pwar bootWar --no-daemon -PbuildNumber=$GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER
