env: ruby\r: No such file or directory

Question

I have Rails project. When I try to run any rake task or rails server it give me this error

env: ruby\\r: No such file or directory

Answer 1

If you are working on a Unix / Mac, then this error is because you have incorrect line endings.

Here is a solution using dos2unix; you may need to install this program on your system. If apt is available, you can use sudo apt install dos2unix.

• 1. Set your line endings correctly, and have git manage how it handles them:

git config --global core.autocrlf input

• 2. In your directory you are going to convert all of the files by running:

find ./ -type f -exec dos2unix {} \;

This will cycle through all of your files, converting them. and solving the problem. Add your changes. Commit them, and you should be good to go.
