This issue has been described in - #43860 On Windows system, git clone or git checkout on the repo turns LF line endings to CRLF in the worktree. This can happen due to many reasons like - - git config --system core.autocrlf (set to true) - git config --global core.autocrlf (set to true) - git config --local core.autocrlf (set to true) - git clone --config core.autocrlf=true ... Adding gitattributes for the shims will not convert them to CRLF line endings. Also, there is a note[1] in test/README.md which says - For the tests to run on Windows, be sure to clone Node.js source code with the `autocrlf` git config flag set to true. Reason for using build subsystem - These shims are just copied in stage_package label of vcbuild.bat Fixes: #43860 [1]: 3654cd4 PR-URL: #43879 Reviewed-By: Antoine du Hamel <duhamelantoine1995@gmail.com> Reviewed-By: Tobias Nießen <tniessen@tnie.de> Reviewed-By: Luigi Pinca <luigipinca@gmail.com>
