When I try to run my rails project, I get a message that there is a
syntax error and the application cannot compile (see below). However,
it does not tell me which file has this error. So instead of saying
"(index.erb):56: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting
'')''" it
just has (erb) where it should provide a filename.
Can someone provide some pointers to help me narrow the field a bit?

Once you know which file has the error you should be in a better position to work out what it is. You might also want to git bisect to try and find the revision that added the problem (assuming you are using git) Fred> ERROR MESSAGE: > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- > Fast Debugger (ruby-debug-ide 0.4.9) listens on :xxxx > => Booting WEBrick > => Rails 2.3.5 application starting onhttp://0.0.0.0:3000 > (erb):56 > Uncaught exception: compile error > (erb):56: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting '')'' > ; _erbout > ^ > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- > > Thanks for any assistance you can offer!-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Are you running the server from netbeans? If so have you tried running from command line just in case it is a netbeans issue? If you make a new rails app does it run?

You''ve left off a closing bracket somewhere, so the interpreter has gotten all the way to the last "end" and said, "hang on, I have one opening bracket too many" and baulked. The easiest way to debug it is to go back to the last edits you did, and look at the code for any unexpected indentation (if your editor supports auto-indenting, or even better, identifying unclosed brackets, it will help). Otherwise, you''re approach could be to remove all your files from the app, and introduce them back one or two at a time - when it breaks, you have narrowed-down the source of the problem... of course, this approach has the difficulty of having to potentially make large edits to the code to get it running with no models... :-/ Sorry I can''t be any more help.
