Using 'cd' in terminal prints syntax error

Question

I'm getting extra output on the command line when changing directories in terminal. The output is:

Casey-MacBook-Pro:~ casey$ cd Envs
-bash: command substitution: line 9: syntax error near unexpected token `done'
-bash: command substitution: line 9: `    done'
Caseys-MacBook-Pro:Envs casey$

Any idea on what is causing this? Could it be something in my bash profile? This is what my bash profile looks like when I run subl ~/.bash_profile:

# MacPorts Installer addition on 2013-03-02_at_20:37:40: adding an appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts.
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

Does one of the files ~/Envs/.env or ~/.env exist? If so, could you add their contents to the question? — Siguza

The directory ~/Envs exists but the file .env does not. I tried to edit it and it was a new file. — Casey

Well either way, you seem to have autoenv installed, and either the autoenv script itself, or a script that gets loaded by it is broken. Contents of /usr/local/bin/activate.sh? — Siguza

Sounds like the problem is that virtualenvwrapper.sh is redefining cd into something broken.

Try commenting these out from ~/.bash_profile and opening a new Terminal window.

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
source /usr/local/bin/activate.sh
