unknown regexp options - bac (SyntaxError) about pipal HOT 12 CLOSED

On Windows it is unlikey to work due to symlinking not working.

I've just installed ruby 3.0 on Debian and it works fine.

        FILENAME: The file to count

Looking at the error I'd say it is also a symlink issue on the Linux boxes. What is the content of your checkers_enabled directory?

Well, i tried it to run on a private server (vps), and it works with every other tool expect pipal, my checkers_enabled dir is the default one from the repo.

I'm a programmer myself too and checked the src, it makes no sense that it throws anywhere a error

also here: head, i forgot to add

This directory contains the checkers you want to enable.

The way I see this working is the same as Apache does with modules and sites,
keep the checkers in the checkers_available directory but then symlink the
ones you want to use into here.

Also you can add me on my discord if you need more infos since its faster to reply (if you want) Heini ohne N#1855

Your problem is that the file 01basic.rb in checkers_enabled is a file with the contents ../checkers_available/basic.rb rather than a symlink. Did you create that file yourself?

no

as ive said, i downloaded the repo and didnt modify anything

from pipal.

So recently if you download the repo, unzipping it and then dragging it via ftp into your vserver breaks the syslink and it will throw that error

fix: just clone via git command and then everything should work fine

git clone https://github.com/digininja/pipal
