Quick Answer
Fix syntax completion errors.
Understanding the Issue
Occurs when Ruby code is incomplete (missing "end", parentheses, etc.).
The Problem
This code demonstrates the issue:
Ruby
Error
def calculate
(1..10).each do |i|
puts i * 2
The Solution
Here's the corrected code:
Ruby
Fixed
# Correct syntax:
def calculate
(1..10).each do |i|
puts i * 2
end
end
# Tools to prevent:
# 1. Use ruby -c to check syntax
# ruby -c yourfile.rb
# 2. Editor with Ruby linting
# 3. Balanced delimiters:
[1, 2, 3].each { |n| puts n }
# 4. Complete blocks:
begin
# code
rescue
# handle
end
Key Takeaways
Ensure all code blocks are properly terminated.
