SVN error in consistent line ending style (LF vs CRLF)

[Faizoel]

I'm testing some things on version control in QlikView.

We are using SVN 1.8 with TortoiseSVN.

I'm getting an error when expressions/texts/etc. are spread across multiple lines in objects.

This is the error when adding something to the SVN repository:

When looking in the xml I see the following:

I would expect to see a CR before the LF, but that does not happen. This is also happening in Expressions spread across multiple lines. !

Checked on QlikView 11.0 SR2 and 11.2 SR12. Unfortunately I cant check this on other versions at this moment.

Can anyone tell me if and how they have solved this?

Obviously the work-around is to put everything on 1 line, or create a variable in the script and use that variable in the front end. But we have a lot of existing documents that we want to add to SVN and this would give us a lot of work.

If not I'll log this as a bug with Qlik. Attached are the example files.

So this is still not fixed in QlikView, but I know how to get around this.

In the SVN settings there is setting for line endings for XML files.

*.xml = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=Id;svn:mime-type=text/txt;

This is usually used to be able to edit a file in Linux and windows. Since QlikView is windows only this setting can be changed to

*.xml = svn:keywords=Id;svn:mime-type=text/txt;

So remove the svn:eol-style=native; part. Now SVN does not check line endings and I'm able to checkin without errors.

BTW I didn't log this as a bug.

Even the svn:keywords=Id; part can be removed since variable subsitution is not advisable on the xml files used by QlikView.
