Jade indentation errors
express, indentation, javascript, pug, sublimetext2
Solution
In the lower right-hand corner of Sublime Text, there should be a label that says `Spaces: N` or `Tab Size: N` where `N` is a number. Select this and you'll see options to convert the entire document's indentation to use either tabs or spaces:
- `Convert Indentation to Spaces`
- `Convert Indentation to Tabs`
Problem
So for my Express site, I'm using jade. So I decided to try modifying my layout file so I can start designing my site. I modified the original layout code (which worked), but I started getting indentation errors in any file that extends layout like this: ``` 500 Error: /home/kevin/Blue/views/layout.jade:6 4| p Hello World Invalid indentation, you can use tabs or spaces but not both 4| p Hello World Invalid indentation, you can use tabs or spaces but not both at Object.Lexer.indent (/home/kevin/Blue/node_modules/jade/lib/lexer.js:679:15) at Object.Lexer.next (/home/kevin/Blue/node_modules/jade/lib/lexer.js:777:15) at Object.Lexer.lookahead (/home/kevin/Blue/node_modules/jade/lib/lexer.js:107:46) at Object.Parser.lookahead (/home/kevin/Blue/node_modules/jade/lib/parser.js:115:23) at Object.Parser.peek (/home/kevin/Blue/node_modules/jade/lib/parser.js:92:17) at Object.Parser.tag (/home/kevin/Blue/node_modules/jade/lib/parser.js:640:22) at Object.Parser.parseTag (/home/kevin/Blue/node_modules/jade/lib/parser.js:624:17) at Object.Parser.parseExpr (/home/kevin/Blue/node_modules/jade/lib/parser.js:198:21) at Object.Parser.block (/home/kevin/Blue/node_modules/jade/lib/parser.js:592:25) at Object.Parser.tag (/home/kevin/Blue/node_modules/jade/lib/parser.js:721:26) ``` So the code that I have is this: index.jade ``` extends layout block content p Hello World ``` and ``` doctype 5 html head title= title link(rel='stylesheet', href='/stylesheets/style.css') body div#header p This is the header block content ``` Keep in mind that I didn't spell anything incorrectly, and I do know how to link together files using the extends option just fine. In fact, the code worked perfectly fine until I started messing with the layout file. All of this is mostly an indention issue. I tried figuring out if it is my text editor causing the problem, and I have been unsuccessful figuring out if it is, as I can't get the code working again. I am using the sublime text 2 editor to write this jade code. If it is the text editor not indenting correctly, could somebody help me learn how to fix it?
