lua5.1 loop error end expected (to close 'while' )

no matter where I put the "end" it still gives me this error,

lua: ch.lua:157: 'end' expected (to close 'while' at line 138) near '<eof>'>Exit code: 1

the code is here,

function ch_handler()
stopped = false
while not err or stopped do
    res, err = self.sock.sock_connection:receive()
    if not (res == nil) then
        self.getEvent({res})
    else
        error('CONNECTION DEAD: ' .. err, 2) -- return an error message
        self.sock[room.name]:close() -- should close the dead connection
        event.onDisconnect(room.name)
        stopped = true
        break 
    end

can you tell me or show me what I'm doing wrong?

On the code you posted,there is only one end. This one closes your if block, but not your while and function block. You need two more ends there.

function ch_handler()
    stopped = false
    while not err or stopped do
        res, err = self.sock.sock_connection:receive()
        if not (res == nil) then
            self.getEvent({res})
        else
            error('CONNECTION DEAD: ' .. err, 2) -- return an error message
            self.sock[room.name]:close() -- should close the dead connection
            event.onDisconnect(room.name)
            stopped = true
            break 
        end
    end
end

This should fix it.
