I run this command with Docker on Windows.

@ashishbijlani I run this command with Docker on Windows.

Packj currently only supports Linux systems.

I am facing the same issue, when I use Git for Windows (Windows 11) git-bash.exe to run packj using docker
docker run -v /tmp:/tmp/packj -it ossillate/packj:latest audit --trace -p npm:express
I get the following error
Missing host volume at /tmp/packj. Run Docker/Podman with "-v /tmp:/tmp/packj" argument.

But when I run it using Command Prompt, I get a result

Packj currently only supports Linux systems.

About this, doesn't docker create a Linux environment, so there's no reason for it to not work on Windows, at least that's what I think?

Thanks for your feedback! This error is not related to Packj running on Windows. The JSON output produced includes GitHub repo commit information, which is incompatible with JSON formatting. It should be a quick fix. Do you want to take a look and provide a fix?

My original problem wasn't this JSON serialization error, my problem was that packj works on Command Prompt but it doesn't work on Git Bash

I am getting error form line 1151 in packj/packj/audit/main.py.

I am running both shells on the same Windows 11 machine

As for the JSON serialization error I don't know how to fix it but I'll help if you need anything.

Thanks for the clarification! Looks like Git bash is not able to honor Docker mount -v /tmp:/tmp/packj command. This error has nothing to do with Packj. It is related to Git bash behavior being different from Cmd prompt with Docker.
