precommit hook with the --quote='"' argument doesn't work

[jl-gel]

Hi there

I would like to use unify as a pre-commit hook, but not with the default single quotations. Rather I would like single quotes to be amended to double quotes.

repos: 
    -   repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
        rev: v3.4.0
        hooks:
        -   id: end-of-file-fixer
        -   id: trailing-whitespace
    -   repo: https://github.com/myint/unify
        rev: v0.5
        hooks:
        -   id: unify
            args: [--in-place, --quote='"']

This is the pre-commit-config file, but I keep getting the following error:
unify: error: argument --quote: invalid choice: '\'"\'' (choose from "'", '"')

It works absolutely fine via the command line, but not as pre-hook-commit. :(

Thanks, I would appreciate any advice!

Hi, maybe you already found a solution, but since the issue it still open and other people may face the same problem:

The solution for me was to use:
--quote=' or
--quote="

Can we have the option to use a proper word (single or double) instead of quotes?
unify src/ --recursive --in-place --quote " won't work in powershell as it just goes to a newline
unify src/ --recursive --in-place --quote '"' results in unify: error: argument --quote: invalid choice: '' (choose from "'", '"')

Instead I have to do unify src/ --recursive --in-place --quote '"""' which is super unintuitive.

To configure for runonsave in settings.json I had to do the following:

"emeraldwalk.runonsave": {
  "commands": [
    {
      "match": "\\.py",
      "cmd": "unify ${file} --in-place --quote=\"\\\"\""
    }
  ]
}
