I'm working on a custom HubSpot theme for a client, making changes locally and using the HS CLI to watch and upload any changes it sees. I'm also under Windows, so I'm using DDEV under WSL 2 for the server environment.
If I go to the project directory and type:
$ ddev npm install -g @hubspot/cli
$ ddev exec hs watch my-theme my-theme
Everything works fine... the HS CLI monitors for changes, uploads them, and all's well.
Then when I'm done for the day, I press CTRL+C to exit the CLI, and type ddev stop to shut down that site.
The next day (or even immediately after), I type:
$ ddev start
$ ddev exec hs watch my-theme my-theme
...and get this error:
bash: line 1: hs: command not found
Failed to execute command hs watch my-theme my-theme: exit status 127
The only way to fix it is if I install the HubSpot CLI under DDEV again:
$ ddev npm install -g @hubspot/cli
What gives? What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: I should note that the entirety of the package.json is this:
{
"dependencies": {
"@hubspot/cli": "^4.1.7"
}
}
The problem here is that you're installing @hubspot/cli globally in the web container, so it will likely go into /usr/local, which is transient (it's created from the docker image each time the project is started).
You should instead do this in a .ddev/web-build/Dockerfile, so it gets built once and added onto the docker image your project uses:
RUN npm install -g @hubspot/cli
You could also install it into the project instead of installing it globally and it would persist with your project.
