ml errors when run in cygwin

[JackYoungblood]

Running roxy on cygwin on WIndows 7. When I issued an ml command I got the following error:
ml: line 17: $'\r': command not found
ml: line 20: syntax error near unexpected token``$'\r''
'l: line 20:```usage()

Some googling told me that this is a problem with unix vs. windows line ending/carriage returns. When I applied dos2unix ml the ml program ran just fine. However, every time it generates a new ml program for a new project the problem came back.

Some other searching suggested that setting a Windows System Environment Variable of SHELLOPTS=igncr would address this issue. However, I still get the error when the project specific cloned ml gets generated.

I seem to recall that when I installed cygwin I was asked how I want to handle carriage returns but I don't know what setting I chose or how to adjust this.

Any help is appreciated.

Since you are in a windows environment, can you not run the .bat file? I've seen the same error in an cygwin install and I found that I could just run ml.bat instead.

./ml.bat local deploy modules

I can run the .bat file. I just find this behavior curious because I've run
Roxy from cygwin prompt in the past.

Simple question, but curious: Does this happen when you clone the repository, or otherwise grab the current master or dev branch copy of ml?

I ask because I've been using a copy of Roxy of indeterminate date and I get the carriage return error. But, I just cloned the current repo and, using cygwin, do not get an error.

(I'm assuming 'yes'; just covering the bases.)

I had the issue as well and decided (sadly) not to use roxy with cygwin.

git clone will use crlf git config to convert lf to crlf [1]. There is no .gitattribute in roxy project so it will use git global settings.

Maybe crlf could be applied only in sepcific files [2].

Thanks for reporting. I had trouble running Roxy properly in Windows as well. I also tried tools like gitbash, but that seems to fall short as well..

Learned how to fix this for my mlvagrant project, I'll add a .gitattributes for this as soon as I get to it!

Fixed in dev..
