Question

I am using Git on Windows and trying to include unit testing in the workflow. If the commit message contain a keyword. The commit-msg hook will trigger Powershell command to run some Nunit tests.

This is my ruby code in the hook

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
message_file = ARGV[0]
message = File.read(message_file)

puts "The commit message is " + message

$regex = /(#runtest)/

if $regex.match(message)
    exec 'powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Command {RunNunitTestCase}'
end

However when I commit a changes, the result is like below. The exec line was run but do nothing.

PS D:\testfolder> git commit -am '#runtest'
The commit message is #runtest
[authorupdate b14878d] 123
 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

I am new to ruby and powershell. Feel free to comment if this workflow is feasible or you have a better approach.

Thank you.

The curly bracket needs to be escaped.

exec "powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Command & \{RunNunitTestCase\}
