Allow execution of commands from a child folder

[taosif7-dreamorbit]

This breaks if my project is inside a folder and not in the root of the project, because scripts run from root of git project.
Please assign this task to me, I want to work on it.

Hi. What exactly is your problem? Maybe you can show some error logs. Running the tool inside of a subfolder is already supported. All you need to do is specify the directory to run the command in:

# simply cd into your directory before running the script
cd my/subdir
dart run dart_pre_commit

# or install it globally...
dart pub global activate dart_pre_commit
# ... and use the `-d` switch
dart pub global run dart_pre_commit -d my/subdir

Hi, So actually I'm using DartPreCommit via git_hooks package, so basically I'm running it with dart via DartPreCommit.run();

So this runs from root of my git folder, hence not able to find the pubspec.yaml file which is inside a subfolder.

Only if there was a parameter to pass to DartPreCommit.run() to specify the project subfolder, it would find the pubspec.yaml file

See what I'm doing:

void main(List<String> arguments) {
  Map<Git, UserBackFun> params = {
    Git.preCommit: _preCommit,
  };
  GitHooks.call(arguments, params);
}

Future<bool> _preCommit() async {
  final result = await DartPreCommit.run();
  return result.isSuccess;
}

I am not sure if it is possible to use the git_hooks package without a top level pubspec.yaml. However, if we assume it does work, you can easily set the directory to be scanned by changing the current working directory of the script:

Future<bool> _preCommit() async {
  Directory.current = 'my/subdir';
  final result = await DartPreCommit.run();
  return result.isSuccess;
}

Did this fix your problem?

Hi, yes this worked perfectly for me.
I think we should include this piece of information in the readme, if you allow me I'd like to add
