Couldn't find end token EOF in the here document.
Problematic code:
cat << EOF
Hello WorldCorrect code:
cat << EOF
Hello World
EOFRationale:
The << here document (aka heredoc) was not properly terminated. The terminating token needs to be on a separate line without indenting (or indented with tabs only when using <<-).
Note that you can not put here documents in one liners. For such use cases, use a <<< here string:
cat << EOF hello world EOF # Wrong: data and terminator can not be on the same line
cat <<< "hello world" # CorrectExceptions:
None
