[GeoMoose-users] Errors building geomoose from source

[Jim Klassen]

I presume when we upgraded the checker that it now has a default rule about line endings.

Do we need a .gitattributes file to with something like

     *.less text eol=lf

??

Are we doing sane things with normalizing line endings in the repo or is it a free-for-all?  (Either having git convert them for window or forcing everything to always be LF)?  I'd worry about converting them causing inconsistencies in the builds (in case we care), but not converting them causing notepad.exe to fail.

Off the top of my head, I think the git default is to auto-detect if it think a file is a text file, and if so it will convert line endings on Windows.

Running prettier on the files with warnings fixes the issues, and then npm run build succeeds. Looking at the changed files, it looks like it only changed the line endings.
