Tell us what’s happening:

Hi. I cannot pass " The variable will be t or empty. Below the if not available comment, add an if condition that checks if it’s empty. Put the send to main menu comment in it’s statements area." Tried copying the solution, reseting the code to toutorial’s standard progress, still getting error “Your “MAIN_MENU” function should have the correct “if” condition added”. Any idea ?

Your code so far

#!/bin/bash

PSQL="psql -X --username=freecodecamp --dbname=bikes --tuples-only -c"

echo -e "\n~~~~~ Bike Rental Shop ~~~~~\n"

MAIN_MENU() {
  if [[ $1 ]]
  then
    echo -e "\n$1"
  fi

  echo "How may I help you?" 
  echo -e "\n1. Rent a bike\n2. Return a bike\n3. Exit"
  read MAIN_MENU_SELECTION

  case $MAIN_MENU_SELECTION in
    1) RENT_MENU ;;
    2) RETURN_MENU ;;
    3) EXIT ;;
    *) MAIN_MENU "Please enter a valid option." ;;
  esac
}

RENT_MENU() {
  # get available bikes
  AVAILABLE_BIKES=$($PSQL "SELECT bike_id, type, size FROM bikes WHERE available = true ORDER BY bike_id")

  # if no bikes available
  if [[ -z $AVAILABLE_BIKES ]]
  then
    # send to main menu
    MAIN_MENU "Sorry, we don't have any bikes available right now."
  else
    # display available bikes
    echo -e "\nHere are the bikes we have available:"
    echo "$AVAILABLE_BIKES" | while read BIKE_ID BAR TYPE BAR SIZE
    do
      echo "$BIKE_ID) $SIZE\" $TYPE Bike"
    done

    # ask for bike to rent
    echo -e "\nWhich one would you like to rent?"
    read BIKE_ID_TO_RENT

    # if input is not a number
    if [[ ! $BIKE_ID_TO_RENT =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]
    then
      # send to main menu
      MAIN_MENU "That is not a valid bike number."
    else
      # get bike availability
      BIKE_AVAILABILITY=$($PSQL "SELECT available FROM bikes WHERE bike_id = $BIKE_ID_TO_RENT AND available = true")
      echo $BIKE_AVAILABILITY
      
      # if not available
      if [[ -z $BIKE_AVAILABILITY ]]
      then
        # send to main menu 
      fi

      # send to main menu

    fi
  fi
}

RETURN_MENU() {
  echo "Return Menu"
}

EXIT() {
  echo -e "\nThank you for stopping in.\n"
}

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.
