DOS Line Endings

[Ghirro]

Hi,

Just npm installed spider-script and after trying to run it from the command line I got this error:

foo@bar ~/l/spider> spider app.spider
env: node\r: No such file or directory

After some googling it appeared the issue is DOS line endings and that the file should be republished from a Unix machine:

I managed to resolve the issue using the dos2unix package but thought I should let you know

Actually the whole thing is using crlf line terminators, wtf?

I had no problem using the spider CLI on my OSX machine. What files exactly did you dos2unix?

[gramergrater]

Converting cli.js remedies the problem, but every text file in the npm package appears to have crlf terminators with the exception of package.json.

I had this problem too, on two computers running OS X Yosemite. @alongubkin what platform are you developing on?

[aroman]

Yep, confirming that this is a problem on my OS X machine as well. (10.10.1)

[alongubkin]

Solved. Had to publish the npm package from an OS X machine. Reinstall spider and try again:

npm install -g spider-script
