How to get rid of extra padding in EJS?

Question

Node.js

Good morning!
How to get rid of extra new lines in the EJS template engine, I will immediately say that I use the master version 2.3.4, yes I tried -%>, yes I tried <%_ _%>.
Actually the code itself:

<%

var names = ["a", "b", "c"]

%><% names.forEach(function (name) { -%>
name: <%= name %>
<% }) -%>

And what do we have:

name: a

name: b

name: c

but want:

name: a
name: b
name: c

Found problem
579 linelib/ejs.js

line = line.replace('\n', '');
self.truncate = false;

need to add:

line = line.replace('\r\n', '');
line = line.replace('\n', '');
self.truncate = false;
