Error executing .sh command using Erlang build – CentOS

I get an error like this when I execute the command. How do I fix this error?

  • Erlang Version: 22.3
  • Operating System: Centos OS 7

Code error picture

{"init terminating in do_boot",{{badmatch,{error,{1,erl_parse,["syntax error before: ","','"]}}},[{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]},{init,do_boot,3,[]}]}}
init terminating in do_boot ({{badmatch,{error,{1,erl_parse,[_]}}},[{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]},{init,do_boot,3,[]}]})

Crash dump is being written to: erl_crash.dump…done

    It is syntax error, not difficult to debug.
    You should have source code and check the program and write some debug statement if necessary.

    Mot likely the $1 and $option are not resolving to correct values…

    As I try the following command, trying to simulate what might be executing as part of the shell script, I get the same error as you are…

    $ erl -noshell -pa /tools_core/ebin -pa ./ebin -eval "make:all(),gen_data:gen(,)" -s c q
{"init terminating in do_boot",{{badmatch,{error,{1,erl_parse,["syntax error before: ","','"]}}},[{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]},{init,do_boot,3,[]}]}}
init terminating in do_boot ({{badmatch,{error,{1,erl_parse,[_]}}},[{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]},{init,do_boot,3,[]}]})

    So most likely, you should check what values they are resolving to. If they are resolving to an empty value, then erlang parse will fail. Since it says before ,, I suspect it’s the resolution of $1 which is not happening properly.

    can you echo these values and let us know what are they resolving to??

    Most likely, $1 should take the command line argument which gets passed along while invoking this shell script. Since its your environment, can’t say much. But please try and share what $1 is resolving to in your case.
