Question

when i deploy to a new server for the first time i am getting this error. I have included the file that it references. as well as the error that is shown in the deployment process.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The direct meaning of UNEXPECTED INDENT is that a line of code is indented too much, but it may also be observed as the result of a syntax error having occurred on the previous line.

In order to locate this error, you should start by cleaning up the code. For CoffeeScript (and all languages, in my opinion, but that is up for debate) to remain readable and maintainable, it should be broken up into small functions. The fact that you have what looks to be approximately 8 levels of indentation near the bottom of the attached snippet would make any error difficult to identify.

If the error persists after you have broken the highly nested code above into smaller functions (which I doubt it will; the problem will likely reveal itself as you clean up), you can begin replacing the content of those functions with stubs.

Once you have found the offending 5 lines of code, stare at the code intently until the problem reveals itself.

If necessary, add coffee.

PS I have also encountered this issue in the past if a discrepancy existed in the code file between \\tab characters and two spaces indentation. So if your IDE allows it, either enable whitespace display or perform whatever whitespace cleanup option it has available.
