GitLab

for many of our .pm files, gitlab doesn't show the diff on the commit page. instead a message "No preview for this file type" is shown.

Those files are perl module files. they are plain text files - no binaries or something like that.

How can i make sure, gitlab shows those files ?

Is it in the commit diffs or in the file view?

I've seen it in the commit diffs - i'll check that in the file view when i'm in the office, later...

In the file view i get a download link but can't see the file contents directly in the browser. I have several .pm files with that issue.

I have a similar problem with javascript files. If a JQuery javascript file example1.js starts with a newline, gitlab handles it as a binary file, doesn't show the commit diff and provides a download link in file view. Remove the newline(s) example2.js or add a comment in line one fix the issue for me.

$ file *.js
example1.js: Emacs v18 byte-compiled Lisp data
example2.js: ASCII text, with very long lines

$ head -n3 *.js
==> example1.js <==

(function($) {
    var functName = "socials", functClass = "extSocials";

==> example2.js <==
(function($) {
    var functName = "socials", functClass = "extSocials";
    var extSocials = function(node, options) {

Can't reproduce on 5.3 stable. Newlines at start are filtered in UI but exist in raw file. I close this for now. Please report back if the error still exist.
