EOF operator in Shell not exiting

Question

I am trying to edit hadoop file on my guest machine using Vagrantfile. I am using cat. This edites the file but even EOF is considered as text and it has been inserted in the file /hadoop/conf/core-site.xml. EOF is not exiting and hence everything below is being considered as part of the text.

What change should I make on this code?

      if node.vm.hostname == "node1"
        node.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
        cat >/hadoop/conf/core-site.xml <<EOF
          <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
          <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
          <configuration>
            <property>
              <name>fs.default.name</name>
              <value>hdfs://localhost:8000</value>
            </property>
          </configuration>
          EOF          
        SHELL

      end

I had the same problem a few days age, you only need to delete the tabs/spaces in front of the "EOF".

So simply change

    cat >/hadoop/conf/core-site.xml <<EOF
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
      <configuration>
        <property>
          <name>fs.default.name</name>
          <value>hdfs://localhost:8000</value>
        </property>
      </configuration>
    EOF          

to

    cat >/hadoop/conf/core-site.xml <<EOF
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
      <configuration>
        <property>
          <name>fs.default.name</name>
          <value>hdfs://localhost:8000</value>
        </property>
      </configuration>
  EOF
