Bug: `/usr/bin/env: ‘node\r’: No such file or directory`

[christopher-besch]

The file /home/chris/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/live-server/live-server.js seems to be using Windows line endings (\r\n).
Running dos2unix on this file fixes the issue.
I installed live-server with yarn global add live-server and yarn version 1.22.17.

Software details

• Command line used for launching live-server: live-server
• OS: Gentoo Base System release 2.7
• Browser (if browser related):
• Node.js version: v14.19.0
• live-server version: 1.2.2

This might be a problem with yarn on Gentoo.
Thanks for your help!

Strangely, the file on GitHub appears to use LF endings, but the one that appears in node_modules installed from the npm Registry uses CRLF. I tried to fork & fix the issue, but I see LF already there in the source. Maybe something weird happened during the latest publish?

So, another workaround is to list the latest version from GitHub as a dependency:

"devDependencies": {
  "live-server": "git+https://github.com/tapio/live-server.git#ad22544",
}

yarn global add git+https://github.com/tapio/live-server.git#ad22544 fixes the issue.
Thanks a lot, @mattrossman!

Happen to me as well, the issue doesn't happen with previous version 1.2.1

[mattrossman]

@tapio could you please re-publish the latest version without changing the line endings? I was bitten by this again when installing on a new machine.

yarn global add git+https://github.com/tapio/live-server.git#ad22544 fixes the issue.

For zsh you need quotes.

yarn global add 'git+https://github.com/tapio/live-server.git#ad22544'

for npm package manager:

apt-install dos2unix
dos2unix  /usr/local/lib/node_modules/live-server/*

1.2.1 is fine, 1.2.2 is broken

npm i -g live-server@1.2.1

It seems that 1.2.2 was published from a machine using CRLF line endings. Version 1.2.1 indeed works. PR #404 should prevent these in future.

$ grep version node_modules/live-server/package.json
  "version": "1.2.2",
$ file node_modules/.bin/live-server 
node_modules/.bin/live-server: a /usr/bin/env node script text executable, ASCII text, with very long lines (374), with CRLF line terminators

$ grep version node_modules/live-server/package.json
  "version": "1.2.1",
$ file node_modules/.bin/live-server 
node_modules/.bin/live-server: a /usr/bin/env node script text executable, ASCII text, with very long lines (374)

I guess this package is published from local machine instead of CI? That's not good...

It seems that 1.2.2 was published from a machine using CRLF line endings. Version 1.2.1 indeed works. PR #404 should prevent these in future.

Should this be merged?

Just ran into this as well. Pinning to 1.2.1 as suggested resolved the issue for me.
