Find the character break - sh script

DustinB3403

@Pete-S While yes, this doesn't appear to be the issue.

I posted this same thing to my GH, here it is from 5 days ago.

So as is, the script bitches about the first blank line (2) with unexpected end of file and line (74) as well.

: command not foundew/new.sh: line 2
/Volumes/NO NAME/Brew/new.sh: line 74: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Testing just the if statement works without issue.

This line with open /usr/local/Caskroom/adobe-creative-cloud/latest/Creative Cloud Installer.app/ needs a quotes.

open "/usr/local/Caskroom/adobe-creative-cloud/latest/Creative Cloud Installer.app/"

@black3dynamite doesn't fix it on my end.

Oh, that's an easy one. Can't have space in the directory name. Need " around it or change space to _.

@pete-s except that isn't the issue, as I can run the individual command without any interference.

Your output seems garbled but the first error is "command not found". If you get it on the second line then the first line is where the error is. Command not found is usually a problem with the directory or the path.

Try enable debugging on the bash script. http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_02_03.html
Makes it easier to see when and where the error/problem is.

PS.I'm talking about softwareupdate where you get the error. It's bash script right?

DustinB3403

@Pete-S yeah, the software update command has worked on 7 other systems.

Remove / at the end of dockutil lines. Is there any chance this script was written on Windows machine? Perhaps EOL needs converting from Windows CR LF to unix LF.

What happens if you change shebang to /bin/bash?

DustinB3403

@marcinozga I was actually considering just rewritting the entire thing on a Apple computer for good measure.

I'll remove the / at the ends of the lines, but those were from autocomplete in apple terminal.

marcinozga

@DustinB3403 I'd try eliminating the problem line by line, or at least by sections. You also have admin user listed twice in kickstart line, fix that too.

DustinB3403

@marcinozga that is to apply the user account that I want to have local admin rights

marcinozga

@DustinB3403 but why do you have admin there twice? It's a list of users, separated by comma, what you're doing is setting privileges for admin user, and then for admin user again. It doesn't make much sense.

DustinB3403

Seems to be something with the if statement. Now I just need to figure out what since I haven't touched this part of the script at all. . .

Stupid Apple!

marcinozga

@DustinB3403 I just ran that if part of the script, and it runs fine.

DustinB3403

@marcinozga ugh. .

When I removed it from the script, the rest of the script at least ran. So now I'm back to square one. . .

marcinozga

@DustinB3403 Ok, script fails because brew installation is waiting for input. If you run it directly, it'll ask you to press return to continue. Try changing it like so:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" </dev/null

DustinB3403

OKAY so I've gone back to the basics at this point and I'm just writing the script over again. @marcinozga thanks for the assistance the 111</dev/null``` doesn't appear to make a difference.

DustinB3403

OK so while the script works, I'm now hitting the GitHUB API limit.

According to homebrew I should be able to authenticate with

HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN: A personal access token for the GitHub API, which you can create at https://github.com/settings/tokens. If set, GitHub will allow you a greater number of API requests. See https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting for more information. Homebrew uses the GitHub API for features such as brew search.

so performing echo `export $HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXX` >> ~/.bash_profile

Should work, but doesn't appear to. Obviously I have something wrong here.
