Unknown Jade/XML Error

[krrishd]

For some reason, I'm getting this error without any indication of what the problem is:

SyntaxError
Unexpected token ILLEGAL
Your Harp app could not be built because of a SyntaxError
in/home/krrishd/Documents/github/blog/_harp/rss.xml.jade

    1| doctype xml
    2| rss(version = "2.0")
    3|  for item, slug in public.post.data

I think the problem is with item.tags, would it be possible to post the corresponding portion of the _data.json file in post/?

[krrishd]

Here it is:

{
    "the-spelling-bee": {
        "layout":"_layout",
        "title": "The Spelling Bee",
        "date": "16 Oct 2013",
        "tags": ["education", "academia"]
    },
    "why-im-not-using-ghost": {
        "layout": "_layout",
        "title": "Why I'm Not Using Ghost",
        "date": "15 Oct 2013",
        "tags": ["development", "nodejs", "blogging"]
    },
    "im-krish": {
        "layout": "_layout",
        "title": "I'm Krish",
        "date": "14 Oct 2013",
        "tags": [ "introduction", "thoughts" ]
    }
}

Oh, sorry, I see the problem now. You want this:

each tag in item.tags
    tag #{tag}

Wrapping things like with #{ and } lets you mix JavaScript alongside something else. Since the each statement is JavaScript, you don’t need to interpolate to use item.tags. Generally, where you do want it is somewhere like this:

link http://krrishd.github.io/blog/post/#{slug}

…as you’ve done. You’re mixing other content and a variable, so that’s the right place for it.

[krrishd]

But isn't it already like

tag #{tag}

[krrishd]

never mind, i see what you're saying. Thanks, it worked :)

[kennethormandy]

Sorry, should have left that part out. I mean on the each statement. You have each tag in #{item.tags} and it needs to be each tag in item.tags.

[krrishd]

also, another quick thing, whenI try to compile:

/usr/lib/node_modules/harp/node_modules/terraform/lib/helpers/raw.js:427
  filePath = filePath.replace(/^\/|\/$/g, '')
                      ^
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

@krrishd I'm also running into the

/usr/lib/node_modules/harp/node_modules/terraform/lib/helpers/raw.js:427
  filePath = filePath.replace(/^\/|\/$/g, '')
                      ^
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Were you able to resolve it?

[andrewboni]

I was able to resolve my issue- I was using Grunt in conjunction with Harp, which put a node_modules folder in the root directory. My guess is that folder was messing up the compilation.

My solution was to just use Harp in framework mode (by creating a harp.json file in the root and a public folder).

Andrew, may I ask why do you have a node_modules folder in your root?
Browerify?

I have some Grunt dev tasks running with Harp. Namely, grunt-contrib-watch, grunt-contrib-livereload, grunt-s3, and grunt-contrib-imagemin.

Is there a way to have this functionality with Harp natively?

We’re discussing how #275 could solve this by ignoring node_modules , more people are running into the same problem. Thanks for your contributions here, feel free to comment there if you have more thoughts.
