Line ending problems under Windows?

Ruby Apps Typo
1

Is anyone else having problems with the 4.0.x code (including trunk)
under
Windows? I’m running Windows XP SP2 and I get all sorts of weird errors.
I
believe its related to the line endings.

*** example output ***

compile error
./script/…/config/…/app/views/layouts/accounts.rhtml:3: parse error,
unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting kEND
./script/…/config/…/app/views/layouts/accounts.rhtml:4: Invalid char
`\003’ in expression
./script/…/config/…/app/views/layouts/accounts.rhtml:4: parse error,
unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting kEND

Each and every time, editing the file in an editor (I typically use
Textpad
& RadRails) solves the problem. In other words, I just open the file add
a
blank line, delete the blank line, then save (this to ‘trick’ the editor
into setting the ‘dirty’ flag that a save is needed). This didn’t
happen in
the 2.6 code base, but I can’t exactly say where things went astray.

\003 is Control-C, which isn’t a Unix line ending character. Is it
just this one file?

No, its multiple files. I cleaned up this one file, ran for a ways and
then
hit more problems… opened up the next indicated file & saved, and then
hit
another problem, etc. I finally just batch-edited every single file in
the
tree and then it was smooth sailing. If you need a list of them that
caused
a problem just let me know and I’ll install a fresh copy and try again.

Note, it also happened when I installed off the gem in addition to via
SVN.
I was playing around with the SVN eol options, but I don’t think that’s
really it now. Thank you for your confirmation – I should have noticed
\003 is not an eol myself but I jumped to conclusions.
