_{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.
