env: node\r: No such file or directory

[temnoregg]

Can't run nwbuild

It returns env: node\r: No such file or directory with every execution

nwbuild -r .
env: node\r: No such file or directory

nwbuild -h
env: node\r: No such file or directory

I had this problem too on OSX. I just opened node-webkit-builder/bin/nwbuild and removed the line break after the shebang and added a new one (line break). That's why the \r is part of the error.

This should work on any OS because you'll be replacing the line break with what your OS expects.

Same problem here on Mac OS X.

Same problem here on Mac OS X 10.9

@stevenvachon doesn't work for me

[stevenvachon]

Oops, I'd missed something. Edited original comment.

[lp76]

I resolved this issue converting the line ending from DOS to UNIX format.
In vim I used this command:
:set ff=unix

[temnoregg]

@lp76 this works for me

The project is missing a .gitattributes file. Since this is a public repository used by people, we can't (shoudn't) rewrite history, so it'll need to be added with a commit that changes all the line endings in most of the files. That would make it hard for current pull requests to be merged (so maybe it should wait), but afterwards it might avoid other problems with pull requests..
A .gitattributes file with * text=auto plus the unavoidable commit should fix this issue.

Same problem here on Mac OS X 10.9.4

@lp76 yeah that :set ff=unix made mine work on Mac 👍

Same problem here on Mac OS X 10.9.5 and Travis CI.

Same problem here on Mac OS X 10.10.

@1j01 sure that'll fix it yeah?

[1j01]

@adam-lynch Simply adding the .gitattributes file won't (necessarily) normalize the line-endings in existing files. It's governed by cryptic voodoo. There usually needs to be a commit that changes all the line endings in most of the files. It probably depends on what line-endings happen to be in the files currently.

[adam-lynch]

@1j01 I've done it before (from https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/) but just asking if you're sure this is because of line-endings. I can look into normalizing them soon

[tamimibrahim]

command nwbuild -r test/ output : No such file or directory !! Ubuntu 12.04

[1j01]

@adam-lynch I don't know. People have apparently been fixing it by changing line endings, so I figure that's the issue. I haven't experienced the issue myself, but it makes sense.

[superRaytin]

@stevenvachon This works for me :)

[adam-lynch]

Closing in favour of #105

[stephan-nordnes-eriksen]

+1 for this. Have the same issue. Can't build my node-webkit anymore from osx 10.10.1.

[stephan-nordnes-eriksen]

By the way, for anyone having this issue, you might have to fix the file /usr/local/bin/nwbuild.

You can do this:

brew install tofrodos
fromdos /usr/local/bin/nwbuild

tofrodos will convert \r to \n and back (fromdos/todos).

[siuying]

before the actual fix, one can use following command:

node ./node_modules/.bin/nwbuild

When I run npm install -g iothub-explorer on Ubuntu 16.04, I get the same error. Also, the executable is called nodejs and not node here so we needed to create a symlink to make it work.
