Problem with windows... directives not found? about mincer

[jfrux]

Ya... so... figured out that if I just do

//=require ./file

it works fine but if I do

/*
*=require ./file
*/

it fails... on windows...

Mac OS X parses the directives fine either way...
Wondering if the regex is having trouble interpreting line breaks in on windows?

Hmm. it's looks like so

I don't have Windows to test. But I'm pretty sure it's related to the line breaks.

Please close an issue if your problem is solved.

[jfrux]

Technically the problem isn't solved... :-
/*
*=require ./file
*/

should work according to your documentation.

I'd say, if anything, this would be a bug.

I got your point, but to be honest I don't have time (and even a machine) to work on Windows compatibility. If you have resources (human/time) I'll be proud to provide any help you'll need to understand where to fix what. Basically you'll need to "play" with one file only (directive processor).

[jfrux]

Okay,
After testing and debugging on windows vs Mac I have concluded that the reason it's not parsing new lines is due to how windows handles line breaks.

The directive processor is seeing \r\n for each line on Windows and \n on Mac.

I'm not sure of the best way to fix it but my n00b mind told me to just do...

this.data = this.data.replace(/\r/g,"");

Somewhere but I'm sure that's probably a bad way to do it?
