Is it possible to get the line number in the ejs errors?

_{I originally posted this question on StackOverflow. This is the original post:}

(Suppose) I have a huge ejs file containing JavaScript snippets. When I compile it, I get the following error:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token ) in mytemplate.ejs while compiling ejs

While it’s obvious there is a syntax error in my template, I can’t know where the error is.

I have full access to the error object so, I was thinking if somewhere the error contains the line with the problem (in a similar way like the JavaScript engines tell you that there is a problem on a specific line).

I tried to access the err.stack field, but it only shows me the error origin (which comes from the ejs library), so that’s not really helpful.

Is there a way to know where the syntax error is in the ejs file?

I’m using the ejs package.

@ciroreed You solution shouldn’t work. @IonicaBizau I fixed issue in code related in template. But your in compilation error (Syntax Error) handling outside template try/catch block. When I will get a time I will deep look how to fix it. Currently I don’t have experiences writing invalid JavaScript code 😃

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:\PASSPORT\node_modules\ejs\lib\ejs.js:661:12) at Object.compile (E:\PASSPORT\node_modules\ejs\lib\ejs.js:396:16) at handleCache (E:\PASSPORT\node_modules\ejs\lib\ejs.js:233:18) at tryHandleCache (E:\PASSPORT\node_modules\ejs\lib\ejs.js:272:16) at View.exports.renderFile [as engine] (E:\PASSPORT\node_modules\ejs\lib\ejs.js:489:10) at View.render (E:\PASSPORT\node_modules\express\lib\view.js:135:8) at tryRender (E:\PASSPORT\node_modules\express\lib\application.js:640:10) at Function.render (E:\PASSPORT\node_modules\express\lib\application.js:592:3) at ServerResponse.render (E:\PASSPORT\node_modules\express\lib\response.js:1012:7)
