Make tests platform independent

[osher]

Cloned a fork, installed dependencies and ran tests on master as a 1st step to work on a PR.

However, alas - it failed tests out of the box because the tests assume a \n line ending where the windows host I was working on uses \r\n.

Now it passes the tests but still fails the coverage on windows, I spent time on it but did not figure why.

I hope this contribution can be accepted. Despite it's half a way - the other half may be a different issue
