Rails: ERROR: compiling partial haml file

Question

I'm getting the following error on the rails server when I press my 'new task' button on my app:

Processing by TasksController#new as JS
ERROR: compiling _app_views_tasks__task_form_html_haml__3289363938348847619_70231363971640 RAISED /app/views/tasks/_task_form.html.haml:4: syntax error, unexpected ')'

    ^

Below is the code on _task_form_html_haml:

.modal-header
    %h1 New Task
    = simple_form_for task, class: 'clearfix' do |f|
.modal-body
    = f.input :title
    = f.input :note
    = f.input :completed
.modal-footer
    = f.submit 'Save', class: 'btn btn-primary'

I've tried to find out more about compiling errors, partials, haml but have had no luck so far. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

You have this line:

= simple_form_for task, class: 'clearfix' do |f|

that looks like it’s opening a block, but there is nothing indented below it to be the blocks contents.

You just need to correctly indent your code:

.modal-header
    %h1 New Task
    = simple_form_for task, class: 'clearfix' do |f|
        .modal-body
            = f.input :title
            = f.input :note
            = f.input :completed
        .modal-footer
            = f.submit 'Save', class: 'btn btn-primary'
