Get "expected keyword" error when running grunt jsx, but the jsx command on its own runs fine

[elsigh]

elsigh@elsigh-macbookair:~/src/baseline/static (sexycb) $ grunt jsx
Running "jsx:views" (jsx) task
jsx --output js/jsx/views.js js/views.jsx
[js/views.jsx:6:0] expected keyword: class interface mixin abstract final native fake export
base.views.BackboneMixin = {
^

If I just run jsx --output js/jsx/views.js js/views.jsx things are aok.

jsx: {
views: {
src: 'js/views.jsx',
dest: 'js/jsx/views.js'
}
},

Is it possible that you're trying to compile Facebook's React JSX syntax? I was trying the same thing, but it turns out that this JSX is a totally different language.

jsx/JSX#332

The grunt task for React is: https://github.com/ericclemmons/grunt-react

Yep, that was my problem.

+1 Any body have any solution for this?

Are you attempting to compile Facebook's JSX, rather than the completely different (but similarly named) format that this tool is designed for?

That was the problem that I ran into a while back.
