Parse error near \n in zshrc

I am using zsh and ohmyzsh. I couldn’t figure out why I am getting parse error, I haven’t made any changes to zhsrc apart from Pacman system updates

.zshrc:168: parse error near `\n'

Here is my .zshrc file

# Enable Powerlevel10k instant prompt. Should stay close to the top of ~/.zshrc.
# Initialization code that may require console input (password prompts, [y/n]
# confirmations, etc.) must go above this block; everything else may go below.

Thanks

No changes at all? I can see multiple customisations in there (p10k, conda, zoxide), so I find that difficult to take at face value.

I’d recommend you debug this by commenting out the various sections one at a time to locate the one causing the issue.

Or, add a newline at the end of the file.

Sorry, I mean to say that I haven’t changed from normal usage to the time I got the error.

The debugging steps are the same.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with your .zshrc. I suspect it is something you are sourcing or otherwise including.

I can parse that file without issues.

Thank you, somehow the file ended up in dos format. dos2unix fixed it.

I recommend not using oh-my-zsh, it is terribly bloated and inefficient. To be frank, it’s absolute rubbish.

It is much better, as well as much more fun and rewarding to learn how to customise Zsh yourself.

I only installed it for trying it’s plugins quickly. Now that I am not using them much, I would try customising zsh directly. Thanks for the reminder.

oh-my-zsh is good for getting inspired and looking at how they’ve done some things.
