Failing to generate an image from the state diagram

[LarryBattle]

I just tested out your file on "@mermaid-js/mermaid-cli": "^8.5.1-2" on Ubuntu and it generated the correct diagram without any errors.

The error in the stacktrace (stateDiagram s1: In) looks like mermaid-cli was unable to read the line breaks in the file.
Try recreating diagram.mmd in an different text editor on the same system then re-run your command. ./node_modules/.bin/mmdc -i diagram.mmd -o diagram.png

Still giving me an error. There is no hidden char at the file, look at the editor showing all the chars.

This editor is the VSCode. I've tried to use Vim as well, same problem.

Hey @diegobernardes, I have tried to reproduce the error you have reported without any luck. From the error message it seems clear, that there is something wrong with your input file. Anyhow, I have created a branch for your case. You can find your state file here: https://github.com/MindaugasLaganeckas/mermaid-cli/blob/issue/4/test/issue-4.mmd and the diagram, generated by mermaid-cli, here: https://github.com/MindaugasLaganeckas/mermaid-cli/suites/844280879/artifacts/9556201. The filename to look for is issue-4.mmd.svg. You are welcome to download the file issue-4.mmd AS IS, install the newest mermaid-cli (8.5.3) and generate the diagram yourself.

Got this (see attached picture)

Check this : #503

The old repo (v0.5.1) is not functional, use the new repo (v8.+). It's confusing, but 'mermaidjs' is not the same as 'mermaid-js'.

npm install -g mermaid.cli ---> fails (v0.5.1)
npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli ---> works (v8.+)

Cannot reproduce. No answer from the reporter.

I was able to reproduce this by using Node v16. Using Node v18 resolved this issue for me.
