missing `end`

❌ Error​

'end' expected (to close 'if'/'for'/'function')

📍 Context​

Happens when a block (if, for, while, function) is not properly closed. Lua requires every block to have a matching end.

✅ Solution​

  • Count the number of opening statements (if, for, function) and ensure each has a corresponding end.
  • Use a Lua-aware editor to match blocks automatically.

ℹ️ Additional Information​

  • Often caused by copy-paste or refactoring code.
