"env: node\r: No such file or directory" for CLI CSS Lint on OSX

[oryband]

I'm getting this error when installing CSS Lint via npm on my Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.7:

csslint "env: node\r: No such file or directory"

This is what npm info csslint returns:

npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm info using npm@0.3.18
npm info using node@v0.4.8

Perhaps the newlines are still in Unix form, instead of OSX form?

As soon as I get this working, I'm gonna add CSS Lint support to Vim via Syntastic plugin, so you better fix this quickly. :)

[nzakas]

Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac so it's a little bit difficult for me to make changes and see if it's working or not. Would you be willing to do a little hacking to see if you can get it working?

[shinuza]

Same issue here (OSX 10.6.7), that's because the file is in DOS mode. Both this solutions work :

• dos2unix the cli.js coming from npm
• installing the version in build/npm/cli.js from this repo

Nicholas, have you published the package since you pulled my last commit?

[nzakas]

Nope, not yet. Waiting to get a few more fixes in before pushing. If your changes already fixed this issue, then yay!!! I'm planning on pushing 0.3.0 this weekend.

[shinuza]

OK, let's wait until you release the next version. As I mentioned earlier I was able to reproduce the bug using the current npm version whereas the git HEAD version doesn't present this problem.

[eriwen]

This affects at least Debian Squeeze as well.

BTW, I can get this to work if I run:

node /path/to/csslint/cli.js file

[iturgeon]

I can verify dos2unix fixes the mentioned issue

[xentek]

dos2unix sorted me out. I was also able to make it work before dos2unix with eriwen's method

[al-the-x]

Confirmed both workarounds. I converted to Unix-style line endings with dos2unix. The "shebang" line in cli.js can't have the DOS-style line endings or "node" it isn't properly recognized by "env". May break in Windows?

[shinuza]

@al-the-x No, it should not break on Windows since node doesn't work outside of cygwin.

[oryband]

Well, any progress on this issue?

[shinuza]

The new npm package has not been published yet, @nzakas any ETA?

[nzakas]

Hopefully before EOD today (if not, then definitely tomorrow).

[nzakas]

Try updating now and let me know how it goes:

sudo npm update -g csslint

[oryband]

It can confirm it now works.

Couple o' notes though:

1. No need for sudo or -g though, npm install csslint works just fine.
2. Why use sudo in the first place? Note I installed Node using Mac's Homebrew which bypasses the need for sudo.
3. Using -g returns an error:

~$ npm install -g csslint
