Unexpected token < in first line of HTML
I have an HTML file :
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en-US" ng-app="Todo">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>DemoAPI</title>
<meta name="viewport">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.14/angular.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./Client/css/styling.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="core.js"></script>
</head>
The error says:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < core.js: 1
It shows the error at <!doctype html> of the app.html.
core.js looks like this:
angular.module('Todo', [])
.controller('mainController', function($scope, $http)
{
$scope.formData = {};
// get all and show them
$http.get('/musicians')
.success(function(data) {
$scope.todos = data;
console.log(data);
})
.error(function(data) {
console.log('Error: ' + data);
});
//get with an id
$scope.getOneTodo = function() {
$http.get('/musicians' + id)
.success(function(data) {
$scope.todos = data;
console.log(data);
})
.error(function(data) {
console.log('Error: ' + data);
});
};
// send the text to the node API
$scope.createTodo = function() {
$http.post('/musicians', $scope.formData)
.success(function(data) {
$scope.formData = {}; // clear the form
$scope.todos = data;
console.log(data);
})
.error(function(data) {
console.log('Error: ' + data);
})
};
// delete
$scope.deleteTodo = function(id) {
$http.delete('/musicians' + id)
.success(function(data) {
$scope.todos = data;
console.log(data);
})
.error(function(data) {
console.log('Error: ' + data);
});
};
/*
$scope.updateTodo = function(id) {
$http.delete('/musicians' + id)
.success(function(data) {
$scope.todos = data;
console.log(data);
})
.error(function(data) {
console.log('Error: ' + data);
});
};*/
});
It also gives me Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.3.14/$injector/modulerr?p0=Todo&p1=Error%3A%2…gleapis.com%2Fajax%2Flibs%2Fangularjs%2F1.3.14%2Fangular.min.js%3A17%3A381)
Besides, in console, when I click at core.js, it shows the contents of app.html and name it core.js.
Here is the snapshot:
Also, as in the image, when I click index.html, it shows app.html. However, I do not have any file that is named index.html and I load app.html by default instead of index.html.
I have tried adding/removing type="text/javascript" but no help with that either.
Also, status 200 is returned on get request for core.js.
What might be wrong?
Answer
Your page references a Javascript file at /Client/public/core.js.
This file probably can't be found, producing either the website's frontpage or an HTML error page instead. This is a pretty common issue for eg. websites running on an Apache server where paths are redirected by default to index.php.
If that's the case, make sure you replace /Client/public/core.js in your script tag <script type="text/javascript" src="/Client/public/core.js"></script> with the correct file path or put the missing file core.js at location /Client/public/ to fix your error!
If you do already find a file named core.js at /Client/public/ and the browser still produces a HTML page instead, check the permissions for folder and file. Either of these might be lacking the proper permissions.
