Same error as before:

error "2016-11-09 10:45:33.754 defaults[648:d07] 
The domain/default pair of (com.apple.Finder, AppleShowAllFiles) does not exist" number 1

As Phil said, you need a try block:

try
set dotVisible to do shell script "defaults read com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles"
on error
set dotVisible to false
end try
if dotVisible as boolean then
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
else
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
end if
tell application "Finder" to quit
delay 1
tell application "Finder" to activate
