ie return ')' expected when-CodePudding

writing a bookmarklet, which is about 300 lines of JS code. been getting all kind of error all day. what I did was write the JS and test in console then I use https://www.toptal.com/developers/javascript-minifier/ to compress the code then add javascript:(code)() to it. the latest problem I have is adding the following function to my code and keep getting expected ')' after I convert it with other code to bookmarklet. it runs fine in console, and the code alone doesn't give me error, only when combined with other codes.

    function checkTEST() {

            addmessage(("test not hydro"), "red");
        } else {
            addmessage(("test hydro........... OK"), "green");
            Checkdocuments();
        }

    }, 8000);
}
