No output produced on Windows with node-v0.12.0

[samuelbjohnson]

When I run RetireJS in a Windows environment, I'm no longer seeing any output. I know it runs to completion, because if I use the --outputformat json option, I see an empty json array.

The problem seems to occur with node-v0.12.0 on Windows (though not on Mac or Linux), and it doesn't occur with node-v0.10.36 (the previous stable version). I can also duplicate the problem with versions of 0.11 greater than or equal to v0.11.7.

I think this is related to UTF-8. The § in §§version§§ is UTF-8 encoded in the lib/retire.js file, but without a BOM in the beginning of the file, windows seems to interpret it as ascii. I'm not sure, appart from adding a BOM, if there is a way to instruct windows to interpret the files as UTF-8.

At least that seems to be what's going on in the Chrome plugin on windows... allthough that might actually be chrome...
