Bug Description
https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/hooks#configuration describes hooks as being per-project, but claude code does not seem to pick up this config.
Steps to Reproduce
but I have this in my .claude/settings.json:
{
"hooks": [
{
"matcher": {
"tool": ["Edit", "MultiEdit", "Write"],
"pathGlob": "**/*.rs"
},
"events": {
"PostToolUse": "cargo +nightly fmt"
}
},
Expected Behavior
I expect the hook to run/
Actual Behavior
yet claude --debug shows:
● Update(foo.rs)
⎿ Updated foo.rs with 1 addition and 1 removal
36 /// Request to foo a bar
37 #[derive(Clone)]
38 pub struct Foo {
39 - pub role: String,
39 + pub role: String,pub timestamp:Option<String>,
40 }
41
42 /// Request to baz a bar
[DEBUG] Executing hooks for PostToolUse:Edit
[DEBUG] Getting matching hook commands for PostToolUse with query: Edit
[DEBUG] Found 0 hook matchers in settings
[DEBUG] Matched 0 hooks for query "Edit"
[DEBUG] Found 0 hook commands to execute
Additional Context
This is my first time using hooks so I may have just made a very basic mistake here.
