Cakefile error: "Parse error on line 64: Unexpected 'IDENTIFIER'

[tjdistler]

I'm on Ubuntu 12.02 and I'm getting the following error:

node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick

Error: In Cakefile, Parse error on line 64: Unexpected 'IDENTIFIER'
at Object.parseError (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/coffee-script/lib/coffee-script/parser.js:470:11)
...

STEPS:

1. sudo apt-get install nodejs
2. sudo apt-get install npm
3. npm install -g [email protected]
4. git clone git://github.com/replit/jsrepl.git
5. cd jsrepl
6. git submodule update --init --recursive
7. cake bake

Being new to nodejs and cake, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I couldn't reproduce this. Cake bake is working for me just fine.
I have CoffeeScript version 1.3.3. What versions do you have? coffee -v

I get the some error. Solution: install the latest coffe-script.

If you get error, like "Cannot find module 'coffee-script'", run this:

export NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/node:/usr/local/lib/node_modules

I am getting similar errors, even on the latest coffeescript. I believe, for some reason, the 0o755 octal constant is causing problems in the Cakefile. I have no idea why. Replacing all of those with the less strict 0755 worked for me.
