"End of line expected" error preventing me from opening game

Question

I wanted to open my game to check that everything is working properly, but whenever I try to open the project, it redirects me to the script instead. This is the message below:

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the errors listed below, and try again.

File "game/script.rpy", line 388: end of line expected.
   jump skip:
            ^
Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 7.4.11.2266
Sat Jun  4 21:37:05 2022

(For reference, I'm trying to skip some dialogue that's only available once you're on the normal ending. I've attached a picture to help)

I tried indenting it with one-two lines, putting all the dialogue after the indention line and putting the label skip: on a different indention line, but none of it has worked.

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

This error:

File "game/script.rpy", line 388: end of line expected.
   jump skip:
            ^
Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 7.4.11.2266

This is telling me that the line 388 of the file "game/script.rpy" looks like this:

   jump skip:

Said line 388 is not included in the attached image, which goes from line 395 to 436.

The cause of the error is that you should not put a : on a jump. The : is for code blocks, but jump isn't one.

The reiterate the error message: the parser was expecting that the line ended, but instead of that, it found a :.
