Syntax error: Expecting token of type --> SLASH_OPEN <-- but found --> '' <--brs(1008)

Question

I'm new to XML. I'm doing the Roku App with BrightScript and XML. On the top of my XML files, VSCode always warm me as 'Syntax error: Expecting token of type --> SLASH_OPEN <-- but found --> '' <--brs(1008)'. Does anyone know what is that means? THX!

Code is down below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Answer 1

I'm assuming you're using the BrightScript Language extension for vscode?

The error message is definitely a bit obscure, but it's caused by not having a <component> defined in your xml. Once you add a component tag, the error goes away.
