I know it's been many topics related to this, but I couldn't solve my problem. Anytime I open the Terminal on MacOS I get this message

-bash: export: `Workbooks.app/Contents/SharedSupport/path-bin': not a valid identifier

What should I do?

  • Do you have any scripts running automatically when you open the terminal? Check `/etc/profile`. Also check for `~/.bash_profile`, `~/.bash_login`, and `~/.profile` – Shai Jul 25 '18 at 12:20
  • You have a bad `export` command in one of your bash startup scripts, like `.profile` or `.bashrc`. – Barmar Jul 25 '18 at 12:21

    Type `grep 'Workbooks.app/Contents' .*` to find the script that has it. – Barmar Jul 25 '18 at 12:22

    I found a script related to that >.bash_profile:export PATH=~/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/share/dotnet:/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/Commands:/Applications/Xamarin Workbooks.app/Contents/SharedSupport/path-bin – creatingeorge Jul 25 '18 at 12:33
  • how do I delete it? – creatingeorge Jul 25 '18 at 12:33

    Edit the `.bash_profile` file, don't delete it. Then logoff and login again. However, I suspect this is not the line, but that you have another, side the error message indicate that the path name is used as a variable name. – cdarke Jul 25 '18 at 13:00
  • I did that and it worked. Thanks! – creatingeorge Jul 25 '18 at 14:00
