Tiktok: Cygwin does funny stuff with line endings, skip to the bottom and add that to .prettierrc

My personal dev setup is as follows:

  • Windows 11
  • Sublime Text 4 with LSP
  • Cygwin

Everything was fine, until I ran the eslint command in cygwin and was faced with this output for every file in my project:

   1:57  error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
   2:64  error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
   3:52  error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
   4:61  error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
   5:1   error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
   6:59  error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
   7:44  error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
   8:41  error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
   9:19  error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
  10:2   error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
  11:1   error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
  12:41  error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
  13:45  error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
  14:10  error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
  15:30  error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
  16:14  error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
  17:19  error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
  18:3   error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier
  19:2   error  Delete `␍`  prettier/prettier

The problem is that Cygwin sees line endings differently, and was trying to conform them to the default prettier endOfLine setting of ‘lf’

Personally I don’t care enough about this issue and solved it by specifying this in my .prettierrc:

{
	"endOfLine": "auto"
}
