SourceAnchors for external files should know the line ending convention ? #1538
Description
If a model is created on a different machine (and OS) than where it is used, there could be an issue with lineEndings
For exmaple:
- build a model on a CI (running linux). LineEndings is LF
- clone the project on Windows (with
git config --global core.autocrlf=true, git converts all lineEndings to CRLF) - now the sourceAnchors are off 1 additional character for each line
That is to say on line 1 they are ok, on line 2 they are 1 character too short, on line 3: 2 characters short,..., on line 1000, the source anchor is completely wrong - so of course displaying the sourceText or computing clones become a problem
The only solution I see is that the model knows what convention was used, and moose figure out what convention is used in the files it opens, and it adjusts the position if the 2 do not match
