When running the script I get: wrong # args: should be "while test command" while executing "while { expect "Password:" { stty -echo expect_user -re "(.*)\n" send "$expect_out(1,string)\n" stty echo expect "Are you OK with..." (file "./ssl-renewal.ex" line 20)

On line 20 of ssl-renew there is only "while true {" Could you help debug this? Thanks in advance ;)

Interesting. I've not seen this error before. Can you confirm the version of expect and OS you are using? My only other thought it that line 19 "Are you OK with your IP being logged?" { send "y\r" } is a continuation of line 18, hence line 18 must end with \ with no trailing characters.

Version of Expect is 5.45, OS is Mac OS Sierra 10.12.5. And the line is actually 11, not 20 as stated previously...

The only thing I can see, is that on line 11, it should read while true { and in your initial comment the true is missing.

You wrote:

and the code in that section should be

while true {
expect "Password:" {
    stty -echo
    expect_user -re "(.*)\n" 
    send "$expect_out(1,string)\n"
    stty echo
    expect "Are you OK with your IP being logged?" { send "y\n" }
} \
"Are you OK with your IP being logged?" { send "y\r" }
```

Thanks for creating this script!

Unfortunately I'm getting the same error.

spawn certbot certonly --config certbot.ini -a manual --debug
wrong # args: should be "while test command"
    while executing
"while true {
expect "Password:" {
    stty -echo
    expect_user -re "(.*)\n"
    send "$expect_out(1,string)\n"
    stty echo
    expect "Are you OK ..."
    (file "ssl-renewal.ex" line 11)

Hey, apologies for basically dropping this. Day job got in the way. In the mean time, I've figured out a better, simpler way to automate certbot without resorting to convoluted expect scripts.
