"grunt lint" fails on Windows with many "Invalid line break" errors

[DanTup]

When I run grunt lint on Windows; I get a bunch of Invalid line break errors. For example:

Invalid line break at lib/reporters/progress.js :
     1 |var BaseReporter = require('./base');
---------------------------------------------^
     2 |
     3 |
Invalid line break at lib/reporters/progress_color.js :
     1 |var ProgressReporter = require('./progress');
-----------------------------------------------------^
     2 |var BaseColorReporter = require('./base_color');
     3 |
Invalid line break at lib/runner.js :
     1 |var http = require('http');
-----------------------------------^

I've tried setting core.autocrlf to true, false and unset it (doing a clean checkout each time) with no joy. Note: I'm a bit of a Git noob, so I may be doing this wrong; but it'd be useful to figure out to make contributing easier!

Hmm, this is weird. I just tried even removing .gitattributes and
changing the reported lines and there was no change. All the line endings
seem to be fine. Can you try configure your editor to use LF?

Or can you try set text eol=lf in .gitattributes (see
https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings)

I didn't open any files in the editor after cloning, so isn't an editor. I'll dig into it further when I get chance and see if I can figure out what's happening.

@DanTup I had the same problem until I cleared all global and system eol settings. Make sure you don't have any settings related to eof in C:\Users\YOU\.gitconfig

[DanTup]

@sylvain-hamel I did the same (after reading your comment elsewhere); with no joy. The setting was completely unset (though whether this causes something different on Windows to other OSes, I don't know).

Additionally; even if this did fix it; it should not be a requirement to change system level config for it to work - there should be some ability to set it at the repo level. The more I use Git; the more I hate it :-/
