Error on SH about mvn-repo-cleaner

[techpavan]

Ensured that the .sh files by themselves do not seem to have any issues. But the released zip file, when extracted seems to have a \r character which might be causing the issue. I believe it is because a Windows machine was used to run the build process.

As I try to fix the release, you can either run the command like sh simulate.sh or run the below command to fix the file itself.

dos2unix simulate.sh simulate.sh

Can this work on Windows at all? It's my understanding that the Windows filesystem does not track access time.

Hi, I am trying to run simulate.bat but it shows me following error:

C:\Users\Tural\Downloads\mvn-repo-cleaner\src\assembly\scripts>java -jar mvn-repo-cleaner.jar -dr
Error: Unable to access jarfile mvn-repo-cleaner.jar

Could you help please?

@atural91 Seems like you are trying to run from the cloned repository. This batch file was made to be run from the release package. Can you try executing with the release zip file?

I bumped into this on macOS (using the release zip).

Carriage returns do not exist on code nor release artifact. Checked in both latest and pre-latest. Probably the issue occurred due to involvement of a Windows machine (or ASCII mode) while transferring files.
