Bash: Couldn't resolve the unexpected token syntax error


Aim: I'm trying to set up VVV where I'm intending not to run DB backups by default, on specific databases.

Where I'm stuck: I keep getting the syntax error near unexpected token `done' even when I use line breaks in bash script.

Steps taken: I also ensured that I've the LF line endings in both bash scripts, yet I get the same error.

File: vagrant_halt_custom

#!/bin/bash
#
# This script is run whenever `vagrant halt` is used to power off
# the virtual machine. To customize this behavior, include a file
# in your local VVV/config/homebin directory: vagrant_halt_custom
#
# Look for a custom trigger file. If this exists, we'll assume that
# all trigger actions should be handled by this custom script. If
# it does not exist, then we'll handle some basic tasks.
db_backup_custom

File: db_backup_custom

#!/bin/bash
#
# Create individual SQL files for each database. These files
# are imported automatically during an initial provision if
# the databases exist per the import-sql.sh process.
mysql -e 'show databases' | \
grep -v -F "information_schema" | \
grep -v -F "performance_schema" | \
grep -v -F "mysql" | \
grep -v -F "test" | \
grep -v -F "Database" | \
while read dbname; do if [ "$dbname" == "mydb" ]; then echo "Database $dbname skipped." && continue fi; mysqldump -uroot "$dbname" > /srv/database/backups/"$dbnme".sql && echo "Database $dbname backed up..."; done

Error

Solution

  • I figured the following answer after numerous trial and error.

    File: db_backup_custom

    #!/bin/bash
    #
    # Create individual SQL files for each database. These files
    # are imported automatically during an initial provision if
    # the databases exist per the import-sql.sh process.
    mysql -e 'show databases' | \
    grep -v -F "information_schema" | \
    grep -v -F "performance_schema" | \
    grep -v -F "mysql" | \
    grep -v -F "test" | \
    grep -v -F "Database" | \
    while read dbname; do
        if [ "$dbname" == "mydb" ] ; then
            echo "Database $dbname skipped." \
                && continue;
        fi
        mysqldump -uroot "$dbname" > /srv/database/backups/"$dbnme".sql &&
            echo "Database $dbname backed up..."; done;
    

    Tip: Use the following command to verify if your bash script has any syntax errors.

    bash -n bin/db_backup_custom
