语法错误：编译 EJS 时意外捕获令牌

Question

I am working on a project in Node.JS Express. I had several pages all of which are running fine but only one page (till now) is giving error in loading up. When I ran that page a error pops up, that is:

 SyntaxError: Unexpected token catch in E:\nodeapp\views\adm.ejs while compiling ejs If the above error is not helpful, you may want to try EJS-Lint: https://github.com/RyanZim/EJS-Lint Or, if you meant to create an async function, pass async: true as an option. at new Function (<anonymous>) at Template.compile (E:\Submit\Fresh\nodeapp\node_modules\ejs\lib\ejs.js:633:12) at Object.compile (E:\Submit\Fresh\nodeapp\node_modules\ejs\lib\ejs.js:392:16) at handleCache (E:\Submit\Fresh\nodeapp\node_modules\ejs\lib\ejs.js:215:18) at tryHandleCache (E:\Submit\Fresh\nodeapp\node_modules\ejs\lib\ejs.js:254:16) at View.exports.renderFile [as engine] (E:\Submit\Fresh\nodeapp\node_modules\ejs\lib\ejs.js:485:10) at View.render (E:\Submit\Fresh\nodeapp\node_modules\express\lib\view.js:135:8) at tryRender (E:\Submit\Fresh\nodeapp\node_modules\express\lib\application.js:640:10) at Function.render (E:\Submit\Fresh\nodeapp\node_modules\express\lib\application.js:592:3) at ServerResponse.render (E:\Submit\Fresh\nodeapp\node_modules\express\lib\response.js:1008:7)

My adm.ejs file is:

 <%- include('../views/header') %> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <hr> <button type="button" class="btn btn-warning" id="table_view_btn"> Voters / Candidates</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger float-right" onclick="javascript:window.location = '/admin/logout';"> Logout</button> <hr> <div id="voter_table"> <table class="table table-hover table-bordered table-striped"> <h4>Voters</h4> <small>Click on the row item to verify the identity of Voter.</small> <thead> <tr> <th scope="col">#</th> <th scope="col">Name</th> <th scope="col">Aadhaar</th> <th scope="col">Constituency</th> <th scope="col">Voted?</th> <th scope="col">Verified?</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <;--<% for(var i=0. i < voters;length. i++) { %> --> <tr onclick="window;location='/admin/verifyvoter/':" style="cursor; pointer:"> <th scope="row"> 1 </th> <td> Janit </td> <td> ABC123 </td> <td> COR </td> <td> True </td> <td> True </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div id="candidate_table" style="display;none;"> <.-- <div> <h3>Add Candidate</h3> <form method="post" action="/addcandidate" class="form-inline"> <div class="form-group"> <input type="text" class="form-control" id="cand_name" name="cand_name" placeholder="Enter Name"> </div> <div class="form-group"> <select class="custom-select form-control" id="cand_constituency" name="cand_constituency"> <option selected>Constituency</option> <option value="Jabalpur">Jabalpur</option> <option value="Delhi">Delhi</option> </select> </div> <div class="form-group"> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary form-control">Add Candidate</button> </div> </form> </div> <hr> --> <table class="table table-hover table-bordered table-striped"> <h4>Candidates</h4> <thead> <tr> <th scope="col">#</th> <th scope="col">Name</th> <th scope="col">Constituency</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <;--<% for(var i=0 ; i < candidates.length; i++) { %>--> <tr> <th scope="row"> 2 </th> <td> Souvik </td> <td> Jabalpur </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>

I tried searching on the inte.net regarding this error but everyone showed that there is a problem in the include syntax which is correct for me. Also my router file for this page has nothing else other than a get request which renders this page to the client.

Where's the problem then?

Thanks

Answer 1

<% for(var i=0; i < candidates.length; i++) { %> seems your '{' wasn't closed with '}' and should be '<%}%>'

Answer 2

You forgot to close the for, }. it looks like <% } %>
