>PROBLEM

Angular project fails starting and returns the following error message:

Cannot parse arguments. See below for the reasons.

Argument --ssl could not be parsed using value "true\r".Valid type(s) is: boolean

>SOLUTION

It happens when a project using Windows encoding is deploy on *nix environment due the carriage return (CR) differences.

Convert the CRs to unix format.

There are many ways of doing that:

1. If using Git, when it is installed, during its install wizard, there are options to set automatically de CR format.

2. Free apps like SciTE, Notepad++, VSCode and etc. have encoding and CR converters.
