Minimal `.chezmoiscripts` template file generating fork/exec error

balaji-dutt commented 1 year ago

What exactly are you trying to do?

I'm trying to debug an extremely strange issue where a previously working .chezmoiscripts template file is now abruptly generating a fork/exec /tmp/3067120083.XXXX.sh: no such file or directory error.

What have you tried so far?

I am creating a simple script template with the following lines:

.chezmoiscripts/run_once_before_emacs_spellcheck.sh.tmpl:

{{- if and (eq .chezmoi.os "linux") (.chezmoi.kernel.osrelease | lower | contains "microsoft") -}}
#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p $HOME/src && cd $HOME/src
{{ end -}}

However, when I try to run chezmoi apply it fails with the fork/exec error.

Where else have you checked for solutions?

Additional context

chezmoi execute-template does not throw any error with this file:

$ chezmoi execute-template < .chezmoiscripts/run_once_before_emacs_spellcheck.sh.tmpl 
#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p $HOME/src && cd $HOME/src

Running chezmoi state delete --bucket=entryState --key="/home/balaji/.chezmoiscripts/emacs_spellcheck.sh" and then chezmoi apply did not make any change.

This is the original complete script that was working two days ago.

What is the output of:

$ chezmoi execute-template < .chezmoiscripts/run_once_before_emacs_spellcheck.sh.tmpl > a.sh
$ chmod a.sh
$ ./a.sh

If this gives the same "file not found" error then it is likely that /bin/sh is missing in your installation.

$ ./a.sh 
bash: ./a.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Gah! Mixed line-ending woes. Not entirely sure why VSCode decided to switch the line-endings in the file to CRLF but switching back to LF fixed it.

Thank you for the helpful suggestion and for sharing a different way to debug templates!
