else without rescue is useless and expecting keyword_end - ruby

Question

This code gives me these errors in my ruby console:
1) warning: else without rescue is useless
2) syntax error, unexpected end-of-input, expecting keyword_end
Why am I getting both of these errors at the same time?
require 'nokogiri'
require 'httparty'
require 'byebug'
require 'awesome_print'
require 'watir'
def input #takes user input and grabs the url for that particular search
puts "1) Enter the job title that you want to search for \n"
j_input = gets.chomp
job = j_input.split(/ /).join("+")
puts "================================= \n"
puts "1/2)Do you want to input city-and-state(1) or zipcode(2)? \n"
choice = gets.chomp
if choice == "1"
puts "2) Enter the city that you want to search for \n"
city_input = gets.chomp
city = city_input.split(/ /).join("+")
puts "================================= \n"
puts "3) Enter the state that you want to search for \n"
state_input = gets.chomp
state = "+" + state_input
puts target_url = "https://www.indeed.com/resumes/?q=#{job}&l=#{city}%2C#{state}&cb=jt"
elsif choice == "2"
puts "Enter the zipcode that you want to search for \n"
zipcode = gets.chomp
puts target_url = "https://www.indeed.com/resumes?q=#{job}&l=#{zipcode}&cb=jt"
else
puts "error"
end
unparsed_page = HTTParty.get(target_url)
parsed_page = Nokogiri::HTML(unparsed_page)
resume_listing = parsed_page.css('div.sre-entry')
per_page = resume_listing.count
resumes = Array.new
counter = 0
result_count = parsed_page.css('div#result_count').text.split(' ')[0].to_f
page_count = (result_count.to_f / per_page.to_f ).ceil
current_count = 0
byebug
if counter <= 0
unparsed_page = HTTParty.get(target_url)
parsed_page = Nokogiri::HTML(unparsed_page)
resume_listing = parsed_page.css('div.sre-entry')
per_page = resume_listing.count
pagination_resume_listing.each do |resume_listing|
#resume_info = {
# title:
# link:
# skills:
# education:
#}
#resumes << resume_info
puts "Added #{resume_info[:title]}"
else
while current_count <= page_count * per_page
pagination_url = "https://www.indeed.com/resumes?q=#{job}&l=#{zipcode}&co=US&cb=jt&start=#{current_count}"
unparsed_pagination_page = HTTParty.get(pagination_url)
pagination_parsed_page = Nokogiri::HTML(unparsed_pagination_page)
pagination_resume_listing = pagination_parsed_page.css('div.sre-entry')
pagination_resume_listing.each do |resume_listing|
#resume_info = {
# title:
# link:
# skills:
# education:
#}
#resumes << resume_info
puts "Added #{resume_info[:title]}"
current_count += 50
end
end
end
end
end
It won't allow me to fix the else without rescue issue without telling me that it expects an extra end at the end of my code. Of course when I put the end there it does nothing and says that it wants another end

Answer 1

I would say that your code is horribly formatted, but it would first have to be formatted at all to be even that much. Once you format it, the answer is quite obvious, you have a mis-placed end.
puts "Added #{resume_info[:title]}"
# Should be and end here for the "do" block above
else
Here is what it should be:
require 'nokogiri'
require 'httparty'
require 'byebug'
require 'awesome_print'
require 'watir'
def input #takes user input and grabs the url for that particular search
puts "1) Enter the job title that you want to search for \n"
j_input = gets.chomp
job = j_input.split(/ /).join("+")
puts "================================= \n"
puts "1/2)Do you want to input city-and-state(1) or zipcode(2)? \n"
choice = gets.chomp
if choice == "1"
puts "2) Enter the city that you want to search for \n"
city_input = gets.chomp
city = city_input.split(/ /).join("+")
puts "================================= \n"
puts "3) Enter the state that you want to search for \n"
state_input = gets.chomp
state = "+" + state_input
puts target_url = "https://www.indeed.com/resumes/?q=#{job}&l=#{city}%2C#{state}&cb=jt"
elsif choice == "2"
puts "Enter the zipcode that you want to search for \n"
zipcode = gets.chomp
puts target_url = "https://www.indeed.com/resumes?q=#{job}&l=#{zipcode}&cb=jt"
else
puts "error"
end
unparsed_page = HTTParty.get(target_url)
parsed_page = Nokogiri::HTML(unparsed_page)
resume_listing = parsed_page.css('div.sre-entry')
per_page = resume_listing.count
resumes = Array.new
counter = 0
result_count = parsed_page.css('div#result_count').text.split(' ')[0].to_f
page_count = (result_count.to_f / per_page.to_f ).ceil
current_count = 0
byebug
if counter <= 0
unparsed_page = HTTParty.get(target_url)
parsed_page = Nokogiri::HTML(unparsed_page)
resume_listing = parsed_page.css('div.sre-entry')
per_page = resume_listing.count
pagination_resume_listing.each do |resume_listing|
#resume_info = {
# title:
# link:
# skills:
# education:
#}
#resumes << resume_info
puts "Added #{resume_info[:title]}"
end
else
while current_count <= page_count * per_page
pagination_url = "https://www.indeed.com/resumes?q=#{job}&l=#{zipcode}&co=US&cb=jt&start=#{current_count}"
unparsed_pagination_page = HTTParty.get(pagination_url)
pagination_parsed_page = Nokogiri::HTML(unparsed_pagination_page)
pagination_resume_listing = pagination_parsed_page.css('div.sre-entry')
pagination_resume_listing.each do |resume_listing|
#resume_info = {
# title:
# link:
# skills:
# education:
#}
#resumes << resume_info
puts "Added #{resume_info[:title]}"
current_count += 50
end
end
end
end
Lesson here is to ALWAYS format your code, for everyone's sake, most of all your own. There is no excuse to not be formatted, and not doing so leads to trivial problems like this that are difficult to find.
NOTE
I did not test this or run it, simply formatted, which made the mis-matched end obvious.
