/etc/vimrc has Windows line endings "^M"

[Dumbaz]

I am currently using the icinga2x/ box and ran into this small problem.

[root@icinga2 ~]# vim /etc/yum.conf
Error detected while processing /etc/vimrc:
line    3:
E492: Not an editor command: ^M
line    4:
E492: Not an editor command: ^M

line   10:

line   58:

Press ENTER or type command to continue

Deleting the line endings fixed the problem

I am on the current master branch

.../icinga-vagrant (master)
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
nothing to commit, working directory clean

The file does not seem to be configured during the puppet run or stem from the \icinga2x\files folder, so it it probably has to be changed in the http://boxes.icinga.com/centos-71-x64-vbox.box itself.

puppet-vim is managing the vimrc file, and as such uses the template file from your local Windows host. Since you've cloned that on Windows, I bet you forgot to set the crlf settings mentioned in the README file.

Can you please share the first two lines of /etc/vimrc in your Vagrant box?

[Dumbaz]

You´re probably right. Had no time to look into it yet, but here are the first 2 lines

" vimrc: Managed by puppet - DO NOT EDIT
" Changes manually to this file can, and will, be lost


set nocompatible

As outlined in the Readme, I did not have this problem when I set the git option for line endings.

git.exe config --global core.autocrlf false before cloning the repository.

Thanks for the feedback. I have tested that on Windows and have some changes pending for the docs to make it more clear. Also how to have that set during the Git installer dialog.
