[shell-execute] Command failed ... (expecting "then")

---

hi! i created a device and in general it works. my platform is a raspberry pi 3 and the actual pimatic version. i wanted to create a switch to (de-) activate ssh. in genral it works, but when creating the device i get an error message:

error [pimatic-shell-execute]: [ShellSwitch#enable-ssh] Error: Command failed: /bin/sh -c if [sudo raspi-config nonint get_ssh 1] then echo 0 else echo 1
/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting “then”)

when i use the switch everything works as expected - no error messages. the error is just at the beginning. how can i eliminate it? i thing it’s just a matter of quoting…

plugin-configuration

{
  "plugin": "shell-execute",
  "active": true
}

device configuration

{
  "onCommand": "sudo raspi-config nonint do_ssh 0",
  "offCommand": "sudo raspi-config nonint do_ssh 1",
  "getStateCommand": "if [sudo raspi-config nonint get_ssh 1] then echo 0 else echo 1",
  "interval": 1000,
  "id": "enable-ssh",
  "name": "Enable SSH",
  "class": "ShellSwitch"
}

Try this:
"getStateCommand": "if [sudo raspi-config nonint get_ssh 1]; then echo 0; else echo 1; fi",

thanks @OrTiN. this works. so a semicolon represents a kind of a linebreak that is necessary i think?!

Yes, thats it

@OrTiN with your solution the error when initializing the device is gone, but the state of the switch always turns to off, no matter if it is on or off. with my statement the state was correct, but i got an error at the device initialization.
