SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[chriswike]

Trying to setup PADD on a brand new install of pihole, PADD Version 3.0.2

When trying to run padd.sh I get the following error:

File "padd.sh", line 23 today=$(date +%Y%m%d) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Is this possibly a locale error?

When I run locale -va output

I was able to fix this by editing the "~/.bashrc

I changed

if [ "$TERM" == "linux" ] ; then

to

if [ "$TERM" == "xterm" ] ; then

as referenced in this post #47 (comment)

Any ideas why the SyntaxError: invalid syntax ?

That is a mystery... I don't see any syntax error with that command at all... https://ss64.com/bash/date.html

I think the root issue here is that auto-login is setting a term other than linux, per this raspi-config issue
