^M problem when launching NeoVim

[ikkihou]

• Platform: WSL2 Ubuntu20.04
• NeoVim version: v0. 9. 0

hi guys, I am new to Neovim and when configuring it with this repo, I got this error below, there are several ^M errors:

Solutions I have tried

1. dos2unix the error file, however, it doesn't seem to take effect

I went through the entire Issues tab and didn't find any similar conditions, so I post this issue.

it seems like u have a poor internet connection (maybe over proxy?).

try deleting the plugin folder, reopen nvim again and let the plugin manager reinstall everything again.

btw how do u install your neovim? cause i ran fine on ubuntu22.04 on wsl2 before.

I ran :checkhealth and got 3 warnings listed below:

I installed my neovim from the official github neovim repo: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases

and I used linux 64x appimage to install my neovim

[CharlesChiuGit]

hmmm, those warnings are fine to ignore.

Can u tried the tar.gz version instead of the appimage? I'm not sure if appimages work fine in wsl2.

vim-autoformat/vim-autoformat#355 (comment)

appreciate your help!
I solved the problem by the two steps below:

step 1

git config --global core.autocrlf false

step 2 add the line below to ~/.vimrc (if not exists then create one)

set formatfile=unix

Finally, I delete all the plugins and the ~/.config/nvim folder and clone the nvimdots repo, and run nvim, then everything goes well. Lol.

I guess the main cause of this E488,E492 error is the core.autocrlf setting in git config.
