Using stryker-cli on macOS about stryker-cli HOT 5 CLOSED

No @avassem85 . You did not! Lies! Lies! Lies!

After some googling I discovered that this has to do with a mismatch in linebreak characters used by windows/dos-style \r\n and unix-style \n.

I found the following work around at StackOverflow.

Note that this solution uses Homebrew to install the dos2unix package.

brew install dos2unix
find ~/.node/lib/node_modules/stryker-cli/ -name "*.js" | xargs sudo dos2unix
find ~/.node/lib/node_modules/stryker-cli/bin/stryker-cli | xargs sudo dos2unix

After executing this, everything seemed to work fine.

> stryker init
Stryker is currently not installed.
? Do you want to automatically install Stryker?

@nicojs @simondel @avassem85 I think users may avoid the stryker-cli when encountering this behaviour, so I think we should see if we can solve this issue in general, instead of having to use the above workaround.

TL;DR;

We're missing a .gitattributes file. We do, however, have a .gitatrributes file 😒 (facepalm) . We need to rename the .gitattributes.

Long version

Git is more than a distribute source control utility. It's also a line ending management tool (i don't like that part, but it is). When installing git on windows, you get the questions on what to do with line endings. I (the person who did the release) chose the option "checkout windows style, check in unix style". This means that my local bin/stryker-cli file is different from yours. Mine has CR+LF line endings.

For me, everything works locally. So i did a release from my pc. However, npm is not a line ending management tool. It does not honor my git settings and it created a release with the CR+LF line endings.

My global settings for windows style line endings can be overruled per repo using the .gitattributes file. After we've created that file, problems should be solved forever, as everyone is forced to use unix style lf line endings.

I have just verified. Problem is solved by PR #24.
