Check if you have the linebreak-style rule configure as below either in your .eslintrc or in source code:

/*eslint linebreak-style: ["error", "unix"]*/

Since you’re working on Windows, you may want to use this rule instead:

/*eslint linebreak-style: ["error", "windows"]*/

Refer to the documentation of linebreak-style:

When developing with a lot of people all having different editors, VCS
applications and operating systems it may occur that different line
endings are written by either of the mentioned (might especially
happen when using the windows and mac versions of SourceTree
together).

The linebreaks (new lines) used in windows operating system are
usually carriage returns (CR) followed by a line feed (LF) making it a
carriage return line feed (CRLF) whereas Linux and Unix use a simple
line feed (LF). The corresponding control sequences are "n" (for LF)
and "rn" for (CRLF).

This is a rule that is automatically fixable. The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

But if you wish to retain CRLF line-endings in your code (as you’re working on Windows) do not use the fix option.

I found it useful (where I wanted to ignore line feeds and not change any files) to ignore them in the .eslintrc using linebreak-style as per this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43008668/1129108

module.exports = {
  extends: 'google',
  quotes: [2, 'single'],

  }
};

If you are using vscode and you are on Windows i would recommend you to click the option at the bottom-right of the window and set it to LF from CRLF. Because we should not turn off the configuration just for sake of removing errors on Windows

If you don’t see LF / CLRF, then right click the status bar and select Editor End of Line.

Here is a really good way to manage this error. You can put the below line in .eslintrc.js file.

Based on the operating system, it will take appropriate line endings.

rules: {
        'linebreak-style': ['error', process.platform === 'win32' ? 'windows' : 'unix'],
 }

If you want it in crlf (Windows Eol), go to File -> Preferences -> Settings. Type «end of line» in the User tab and make sure Files: Eol is set to rn and if you’re using the Prettier extension, make sure Prettier: End of Line is set to crlf. enter image description here Finally, on your eslintrc file, add this rule: 'linebreak-style': ['error', 'windows'] enter image description here

The same situation occurred when I was using VSCode with eslint. If you use VSCode,

1 — Click area that name can be both LF or CRLF where at the bottom right of the VScode.

2 — Select LF from the drop-down menu.

That’s worked for me.

Happen with me because I ran git config core.autocrlf true and I forgot to rever back.

After that, when I checkout/pull new code, all LF (break line in Unix) was replaced by CRLF (Break line in Windows).

I ran linter, and all error messages are Expected linebreaks to be 'LF' but found 'CRLF'

To fix the issue, I checked autocrlf value by running git config --list | grep autocrlf and I got:

core.autocrlf=true
core.autocrlf=false

I edited the global GIT config ~/.gitconfig and replaced autocrlf = true by autocrlf = false.

After that, I went to my project and do the following (assuming the code in src/ folder):

CURRENT_BRANCH=$(git branch | grep * | cut -d ' ' -f2);
rm -rf src/*
git checkout $CURRENT_BRANCH src/

In my case (vue.js project, created using vue-cli) the lint problem Expected linebreaks to be 'LF' but found 'CRLF' linebreak-style was related to Prettier.
From version >= 2 Prettier replace all line endings with «lf»: https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html#end-of-line

Since I’m using Windows to develop I set these 3 (git, eslint, prettier) configuration to avoid line endings problems:

  1. Git: I set git config --global core.autocrlf true
  2. eslint: in .eslintrc.js file I configured:
      module.exports = {
      rules: {
        'linebreak-style': ['error', 'windows'],
      },
    };
  1. prettier: And finally in prettier.config.js:
module.exports = {
    endOfLine: "crlf",
};

The "endOfLine": "auto" setting in .eslintrc.js and .prettierrc files worked for me.

File .eslintrc.js should have:

rules: {
    /*  ...the other code is omitted for the brevity */
    'arrow-body-style': [1, 'as-needed'],
    'import/extensions': 'off',
    'prettier/prettier': [

Tips: Make sure you have installed Git as the picture if not do that first.
You can take other features as default, You can choose visual studio code as the default editor. helps you a lot later.

enter image description here

Windows Users:
Uninstall Visual Studio Code then reinstalled it again and EditorConfig should work just fine.

NOTE => Uninstalling Visual Studio Code still leaves the old settings and extensions! remove Visual Studio Code on Windows completely

Uninstalled Visual Studio

  1. This PC > Local disck (C) Users > CurrentUser > AppData > Local > Programs > Microsoft VS Code
    1. Unins000.exe or Uninstall it from conrol panel
  2. This PC > Local disck (C) Users > CurrentUser > AppData > Local > Roaming
    1. Code => Folder should be delete it
  3. This PC > Local disck (C) Users > CurrentUser >
    1. .vscode => Folder should be delete it
  4. reinstall vs code it should work now.

In my case, the LF rule was set in a file read by the maven-checkstyle-plugin in pom.xml.
The ${skipCheckstyle} environment variable was not set.
This way I skipped the whole check.

I’m seeing a lint error after copying (some code in View Raw, in the browser) and pasting into a new document.

I still believe it is a bug to offer a Quick Fix and not have that fix work, but seconds after posting this Bug Report I noticed in the very bottom right of VS Code, only when focused on my new file, there is ‘CLRF’.
I then selected all in the file and clicked ‘CLRF’ and the setting toggled to ‘LF’.
That fixed my file.

I’ve been trying to fix this for the past day and your comment saved me.

In my set up I have eslint and prettierjs plugins installed. I’ve tried toggling all different settings but none of them would fix this issue. Prettier would format the entire file but the crlf problem would remain. Clicking the quick-fix option would also have no effect.

Thankfully my project is small so this wasn’t a problem to change every file’s setting to LF.

Also you need to change the following setting so that newly created files will have LF:

Quick fix attempts to fix the problem, I can see the page refresh, but the file remains unix/LF.
Quick fix works with other ESLinting issues.

Manually selecting the EOL sequence from the status bar to CRLF changes the file to windows/CRLF and fixes the issue.

Ok so try ESLint from the command line: eslint --fix

rules: {

'linebreak-style': ['error', 'unix'],  // changes the file to LF

@dbaeumer

The underlying problem here is that VS Code abstracts the line ending away (it is basically an array of lines) and hence it is not obvious on how to manipulate the line endings. Need to dig deeper.

@kumarharsh

You can use an .editorconfig for specifying line endings
And use the code-eol extension to visualize the end of line.

@dbaeumer — if the code-eol plugin can do it, I think the information is available somewhere.

@biswaranjanb

@Andr3sAmaral

@jrjbertsch

I was having the same problem the CRLF/LF toggle does not work. This can occur when ‘n’ is a literal rather than an LF character. Open the file. Select CTRL+H, Select the .* (regex) to the right of the search bar. Select any ‘n’ literal in your open file. You should see \n in the search bar. In the replace bar enter n. Select replace all. This should do the trick for you. You’ll notice the files to include bar. You can perform this global search and replace for all relevant files.

@RobertSandiford

Remains an issue.

Also, if I have an extra semi, then while removing the semi, vscode-eslint will double up each line ending to create blank lines.

By the way: running «eslint . —fix» fixes the problem just fine. May help someone trying to fix their project.

@RihardXXX

Я все еще считаю, что предлагать быстрое исправление — это ошибка, и это исправление не работает, но через несколько секунд после публикации этого отчета об ошибке я заметил в самом нижнем правом углу VS Code, только когда я сосредоточился на моем новом файле, есть ‘CLRF’ .
Затем я выделил все в файле и щелкнул «CLRF», и параметр переключился на «LF».
Это исправило мой файл.

thank you))

Solutions

Add in rules

"linebreak-style": [0 ,"error", "windows"], 

If you need to know the principle, please see the following

Principle

When many people have different editors, VCs applications, and operating systems, different end of line writes may occur by any of the above

Line breaks in different systems

The newline character used in Windows operating system is usually a carriage return character (CR), followed by a newline character (LF), which makes it a carriage return newline character (CRLF)

Linux UNIX uses the simple line feed (LF). The corresponding control sequences are “[n] for LF and” [R] n “for CRLF

Many version control systems, such as GIT and subversion, can automatically ensure the correct outcome. But to cover all unexpected situations, you can activate this rule (linebreak style)

linebreak-style

this rule enforces a uniform end of line, independent of the operating system, VCs, or editors used throughout the code base
Options

“UNIX” (default) forces the use of UNIX line endings for LF

“windows” enforces the use of the windows line terminator for CRLFunix

Error examples

"unix"(Default) Force Unix line endings: n for LF.
"windows" forces the use of Windows line terminators: rn for CRLF.

Correct example

/*eslint linebreak-style: ["error", "unix"]*/

var a = 'a', // n
    b = 'b'; // n
// n
function foo(params) { // n
    // do stuff n
}// n

windows

Wrong Example

/*eslint linebreak-style: ["error", "windows"]*/

var a = 'a'; // n

Correct example

*eslint linebreak-style: ["error", "windows"]*/

var a = 'a', // rn
    b = 'b'; // rn
// rn
function foo(params) { // rn
    // do stuff rn
} // rn

use this rule in version control system

For example, the default behavior of GIT on Windows systems is to convert lf newline to CRLF when checking out a file, but store the newline as lf when committing changes. Linebreak style if this “UNIX” setting is configured, this will cause the rule to report an error because the file seen by eslint will have a CRLF newline character. If you use git, you can add a line to your. Gitattributes file to prevent git from converting line breaks in. JS files

*.js text eol=lf

How to Fix eslint linebreak style error on Visual Studio Code Windows? (Expected linebreaks to be ‘crlf’ but found ‘lf’)

September 5, 2019

eslint, git, javascript

Suddenly, you run npm run lint and it shows quite a lot of linebreak-style errors. Your Visual Studio Code suddenly does not show you the lint errors as well. You probably run npm run lint — –fix but that will touch tons of the files with linebreaks changed from LF to CRLF – probably not something you want.

How to Fix the eslint linbreak style errors?

First, you run the following command to verify that this fix is good for you:

1
git config -l | grep autocrlf
git config -l | grep autocrlf

What you will see is core.autocrlf=false which isn’t right. You can fix this by:

1
git config --add core.autocrlf true
git config --add core.autocrlf true

Then, you need to clean the cache files of your git repository, you can do this by the following two commands (make sure you stage or commit your changes):

1
2
git rm --cached -r .
git reset --hard
git rm --cached -r .
git reset --hard

Then, it is probably a good idea to re-install your eslint extension (plugin) in your VS code and restart your Visual Studio Code IDE if necessary.

You’ll see the eslint pointing out unnecessary spaces or missing semicolons in your Javascript code again!

The Solution to Expected linebreaks to be ‘LF’ but found ‘CRLF’ linebreak-style is

Check if you have the linebreak-style rule configure as below either in your .eslintrc or in source code:

/*eslint linebreak-style: ["error", "unix"]*/

Since you’re working on Windows, you may want to use this rule instead:

/*eslint linebreak-style: ["error", "windows"]*/

Refer to the documentation of linebreak-style:

When developing with a lot of people all having different editors, VCS
applications and operating systems it may occur that different line
endings are written by either of the mentioned (might especially
happen when using the windows and mac versions of SourceTree
together).

The linebreaks (new lines) used in windows operating system are
usually carriage returns (CR) followed by a line feed (LF) making it a
carriage return line feed (CRLF) whereas Linux and Unix use a simple
line feed (LF). The corresponding control sequences are "n" (for LF)
and "rn" for (CRLF).

This is a rule that is automatically fixable. The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

But if you wish to retain CRLF line-endings in your code (as you’re working on Windows) do not use the fix option.

~ Answered on 2016-06-15 05:11:18

The reason for this: under Windows environment, GIT will automatically identify the current system environment when we pull the code. Change the original (Linux/Unix) line feed to the corresponding system. When we submit the code, it will be converted to the remote system environment (Linux/Unix), and then install eslint. LF is used by default, so this error will be reported

Line feed format in various environments
window: CRLF (R n or ^m n)
MAC: Cr (R or ^m)
linux/Unix: LF (n)

Solution:

1. Manually cut the CRLF at the bottom of the vscode file code into LF, which can only make eslint not report errors for the time being. But in fact, when we pull down again, GIT will automatically convert all files to CRLF, and there will still be an error message

2. Rule configuration in eslint. Turn off line feed verification in the window environment and let it automatically convert CRLF to LF when submitting (it seems that we haven’t fundamentally solved this problem)

"linkbreak-style":["off","windows"]

3. When git pulls the code, let git pull according to the line feed (LF) of the remote code, and no longer convert the format according to the system. At the same time, configure the line feed character of vscode as LF. My approach is to configure the pull format of GIT, delete the whole local original warehouse, and then pull a code remotely again. This is OK. The command is as follows:

git config –global core. Autocrlf has three configurations (depending on the situation, I chose input)

True: automatically convert CRLF to LF when pushing, and CRLF when pulling (this configuration requires configuring eslint to turn off line break verification in window environment)

git config --global core.autocrlf true

Input: CRLF is automatically converted to LF when pushing, but LF is not automatically converted to CRLF when pulling (this configuration does not need to configure eslint, and the code format is consistent with that of the remote. I use this)

git config --global core.autocrlf input

False: no matter push or pull, the original file is what it is

git config --global core.autocrlf false

Other configurations:

1. Reject submission of files containing mixed line breaks

git config --global core.safecrlf true

2. Allow submission of files containing mixed line breaks

git config --global core.safecrlf true

3. Warn when submitting files containing mixed line breaks

git config --global core.safecrlf warn
