EJS syntax error while compiling ejs code

Question

    SyntaxError: Unexpected token ')' in C:\Users\hp\short.nner\views\index.ejs while compiling ejs

If the above error is not helpful, you may want to try EJS-Lint:

Here's my code:

    <%=Url.forEach(shortUrl => { %>
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            <a href="<%= shortUrl.full %>">
                                <%= shortUrl.full %>
                            </a>
                        </td>
                        <td>
                            <a href="<%= shortUrl.short %>">localhost:3000/<%= shortUrl.short %></a
              >
            </td>
            <td><%= shortUrl.clicks %></td>
            <td><%= shortUrl.GivenEmail %>
          </tr>
          <% }) %>

I really don't know why I am getting this error please help. I did give the Url as an option to my ejs but I get this strange error on running it.

i used this const Url = await ShortUrl.find({ realEmail: email}); in my server.js . Is there something wrong with it? — Dingus45191

I wasn't able to fully test your code yesterday because I was on mobile.

The problem is actually coming from the = in the beginning of <%=Url.forEach(shortUrl =>. Just remove it like this should work:

 <% Url.forEach(shortUrl => { %>
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            <a href="<%= shortUrl.full %>">
                                <%= shortUrl.full %>
                            </a>
                        </td>
                        <td>
                            <a href="<%= shortUrl.short %>">localhost:3000/<%= shortUrl.short %></a
              >
            </td>
            <td><%= shortUrl.clicks %></td>
            <td><%= shortUrl.GivenEmail %>
          </tr>
          <% }) %>

That should dismiss the error.
