I am getting this error when i run the following code:

/home/deployer/loadmax/releases/20140512215519/lib/primeloads.rb:53: syntax error, unexpected keyword_else, expecting ')'
/home/deployer/loadmax/releases/20140512215519/lib/primeloads.rb:58: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting ')'
        record[:length] = "#{post["Trailer"]}"
              ^
/home/deployer/loadmax/releases/20140512215519/lib/primeloads.rb:103: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting $end

/home/deployer/loadmax/releases/20140512215519/lib/tasks/primeloads.rake:1:in `<top (required)>'

Here is the code:

40    def build_post(array_of_post_hashes, serial_number)
41      #checks to see if compatible file types
42      @posts = array_of_post_hashes.keep_if {|x| x.keys.include? "type" }
43      @posts.each do |post|
44        record = {
45          equipment_id: self.set_equipment(post["Load"]),
46          comments: self.set_comments(post["Order"])
47        }
48        record[:user_id] = '10181'
49        record[:origin] = "#{post["Origin"]}, #{post["Origin_State"]}"
50        record[:dest] = "#{post["Destination"]}, #{post["Destination_State"]}"

If the givin date is Greater than or equal to "2014-5-13 00:00:00" then post given date

Else Post Time date Now

51        if Chronic.parse(#{post["Pickup_Date"]}) >= Chronic.parse('today').strftime('%Y-%m-%d 00:00:00')
52          record[:pickup] = Chronic.parse(#{post["Pickup_Date"]})
53        else
54          record[:pickup] = Chronic.parse('now')
55        end
56        record[:delivery] = Chronic.parse(#{post["Delivery_Date"]}) 
57        record[:rate] = 'CALL'
58        record[:length] = "#{post["Trailer"]}"
59        record[:hotload] = 'True'
60        @log.debug "POSTED #{post["Order"]}"
61        begin
62          Resque.enqueue(MajorPoster,record)
63        rescue Exception => e
63          @log.error e
65        end
66      end
67    end

Change the line

# syntactically invalid ruby code.
record[:pickup] = Chronic.parse(#{post["Pickup_Date"]})

to

record[:pickup] = Chronic.parse(post["Pickup_Date"])

You just don't need to string interpolation here. There are a lots of such mistakes, go and fix it. If you need it write it proper way as record[:delivery] = Chronic.parse("#{post['Delivery_Date']}").
