  <% } %>
  </ul>

Error Getting:

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

Or, if you meant to create an async function, pass `async: true` as an option.

CodePudding user response：

for(int i = 0;i<new_item.length;i  )

int is not a valid type declaration in ejs so you should use let or var instead.
