How to enforce Line Endings?

[Andy Moore]

Does PlasticSCM have an option to enforce, require, or auto-convert line endings upon checkin?

We have non-technical folks using tools that generate files with mixed line endings that we want to strip out on an automated basis. At the very least, we'd like to block checkins that have mixed line endings.

Hi Andy,

I'm afraid that this feature is not available but Plastic provides the users to create their custom "before-checkin" triggers. Not sure if it helps:

Not sure about the editor you are using but you may be able to also handle it there:

I too need this feature for text files, but I don't believe the trigger mechanism can distinguish between text and binary files?

The trigger mechanism is linked to a specific Plastic operation eg: before-checkin and then, you in your trigger code can parse the files involved in the checkin and perform any necessary operation before the chckin is performed.

The "before-checkin" trigger standard input includes the file paths:
