Migration script fails with "unterminated substitute pattern"

See original GitHub issue

The migration script to version 1.0 (https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-hateoas/blob/master/etc/migrate-to-1.0.sh) fails when I run it on my macOS machine (Mojave 10.14.6) with the error message sed: 1: "s/Link\.REL_SELF/IanaLi ...": unterminated substitute pattern repeated for each file matching the pattern.

I also ran into same issue on mac. thanks to cdlans for figuring out the problem. I modified the script and split the expression into EXPRESSION1 AND EXPRESSION2 each with 32 lines. and then give -e “$EXPRESSON1” -e"$EXPRESSION2" to the sed

On linux it failed too with sed: can’t read : No such file or directory. I had to change the sed command to sed -i -e "$EXPRESSION" $FILE
