Post update hooks have no effect

[MaciejG604]

In the scala-cli repo we have updated our .scala-steward.conf to include:

postUpdateHooks = [{
  command = ["./mill", "-i", "generate-reference-doc.run"],
  commitMessage = "Generate the reference doc"
}]

However, no commits with this message are ever generated e.g. here.
After setting up a separate steward-running repo, the hooks are launched correctly e.g. here.

Hey @MaciejG604, is that command generating new files our updating old ones? Because if that's the case I believe given this new files won't be added, and thus, a commit won't be created.

Hi, it should only update files that already exists, nothing new added.

🤔 Could you run Steward in debug mode to get more clarity onto what's happening?

[MaciejG604]

How do I do that?

If you are using the Scala Steward GitHub Action, check Run Scala Steward with step debug logging under Guides.
