Windows carriage-returns in NvimUnity application

[SanTeeg0]

It appears that underlying bash script nvimunity.sh from the Linux AppImage is using windows carriage-returns. It causes application to instantly crash with error execv error: No such file or directory. If i manually change carriage-returns for unix compatible ones, application runs as expected.

It is also possible that same bug could be happening in MacOS application.

The problem is in the unity package(nvim-unity) or in the standalone?

[SanTeeg0]

Yep, standalone. Haven't seen it has own repo.

Sorry for delayed response, its been a quite busy few days.

It seems that nvimunity.sh script from standalone repo doesnt have this problem. I can easily just chmod script and run. No windows carriage-returns as well.

So here is more detailed explanation about process of getting this error.

1. Download AppImage build of standalone application for Linux from the README
2. Allow AppImage execution chmod u+x nvimunity-linux.AppImage
3. Try to run the application ./nvimunity-linux.AppImage
4. Get execv error: No such file or directory
5. Extract AppImage contents ./nvimunity-linux.AppImage --appimage-extract
6. Find out that scripts squashfs-root/usr/bin/nvimunity.sh and squashfs-root/AppDir/usr/bin/nvimunity.sh has windows carriage-returns

This issue is due to CR & CRLF incompatibility. Simply use dos2unix on the script itself to fix this. I have explained this in my blog post here -> https://blog.saladin.pro/unity-neovim-setup-ft-nix
