Bash script : Unexpected End Of File (FreeBSD)

Question

I got a task to create a bash script to install Subversion scheduler on my freebsd machine, unfortunately it doesn't work as expected.

when I run

#bash -x ./installSubversion.sh

I always got this error messages

+ REPOPATH=$'/usr/ports/devel/subversion\r'
+ CHECKPATH=$'/usr/local/bin/svnserve\r'
>./installSubversion.sh: line 22: syntax error: unexpected end of file

here is the script installSubversion.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
###########
### Installing subversion(svn) on Freebsd
###########
REPOPATH="/usr/ports/devel/subversion"
CHECKPATH="/usr/local/bin/svnserve"
if [ ! -x "$CHECKPATH"  ] || [ "$1" = "-force" ] ;
then
        echo "Trying to install subversion from ports"
        if [ "$1" = "-force"  ];
        then
                /usr/sbin/pkg_delete -fx subversion-
                cd $REPOPATH
                /usr/bin/make -DBATCH reinstall clean
        else
                cd $REPOPATH
                /usr/bin/make -DBATCH install clean
        fi
else
        echo "subversion is Installed"
fi

What am I doing wrong?

Nothing to do with the issue, but it is not necessary to have both a semicolon (;) and a newline before the then part of an if statement. Have you deleted the inner if ... fi to try and get the same error message? — Anthon

@Anthon I think that is everything to do with it, fi\r does not end an if — Jasen

@Jasen AFIAK you can insert them and leave them out if the then is on the next line. Care to elaborate? — Anthon

@Jasen: Fair point. Some may consider it a bug that bash doesn't ignore \r at the end of a line, others consider it a feature. :) — PM 2Ring

The error messages REPOPATH=$'/usr/ports/devel/subversion\r' indicate that your script has DOS-style line endings \r\n instead of Unix-style \n. That can be fixed with a simple sed command, or using the dos2unix command, which you may have already installed on your system.

Your text editor may have an option to select line ending style. If so, make sure you use Unix-style when editing scripts for use in *nix. And you can use such an editor to convert the line ending style of existing files, but that can be a bit tedious if you want to fix multiple files.

looks to me the good answer, along with no ; in if statement.
