SyntaxError: await is only valid in async functions and the top level bodies of modules
await was used inside a function that isn’t async (or in a classic, non-module script).
Dockerfile parse error line N: unknown instruction
A line in the Dockerfile doesn’t start with a valid instruction — usually a broken line continuation or a typo.
SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input
The parser reached the end of the code (or JSON) while still expecting more — a missing } ) ] or empty JSON.
SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /x/: Unterminated group
A regex pattern has invalid syntax — unbalanced parentheses/brackets or unescaped special characters.
SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token
The code contains a character the parser can’t handle — smart quotes, stray characters or an unterminated string.
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<' (HTML served instead of JavaScript)
The browser loaded a .js file but received HTML (an error page or the SPA index.html).
SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list
A function call’s parentheses are unbalanced — often an unescaped quote or a missing comma/plus.
GraphQL: Syntax Error: Expected Name, found <EOF> / Unexpected }
The GraphQL document is malformed — unbalanced braces, a stray comma/character, or an empty query.
Two steps away (20)
ReferenceError: x is not defined
Code refers to a variable or function name that doesn’t exist in the current scope.
NameError: name 'x' is not defined
Python doesn’t know the name — it was never assigned/imported in this scope, or it’s misspelled.
ReferenceError: Cannot access 'x' before initialization
A let/const/class was used before its declaration line ran (temporal dead zone) — often a circular import.
IndentationError: unexpected indent / expected an indented block
Python’s block structure is broken — inconsistent indentation or mixed tabs and spaces.
Node.js: [UnhandledPromiseRejection] — This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block
A promise rejected and nothing handled it; since Node 15 this crashes the process.
AbortError: The user aborted a request. / signal is aborted without reason
A fetch was cancelled through an AbortController (or the browser cancelled it).
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected …
PHP can’t parse the file because of a syntax mistake — the real error is often on the line before the one reported.
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE / Command failed with exit code 1
An npm script (build, start, test, postinstall) exited with an error. ELIFECYCLE is only the wrapper — the real error is printed…
gyp ERR! build error / node-gyp rebuild failed
A dependency with native C/C++ code couldn’t compile — missing build tools, Python, or an unsupported Node version.
SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0
`JSON.parse()` / `response.json()` received something that isn’t JSON — very often an HTML error page.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException: Cannot deserialize value of type `java.util.ArrayList` from Object value
Jackson found JSON whose shape doesn’t match the target Java type (object vs array, string vs number, missing constructor).
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException: Unrecognized field "x", not marked as ignorable
The JSON contains a field your Java class doesn’t have, and Jackson is configured to fail on unknown properties.
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Python couldn’t parse the code. The caret (^) points at or just after the mistake.
Adjacent JSX elements must be wrapped in an enclosing tag. Did you want a JSX fragment <>...</>?
A component returns two sibling JSX elements without a single parent.
Refused to execute script from 'x' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not executable
The browser fetched a script but the server labelled it text/html (usually an error page), so it refused to run it.
ChunkLoadError: Loading chunk 123 failed.
A lazily loaded JavaScript chunk couldn’t be downloaded — usually because a new deployment removed the old hashed files.
Failed to load module script: Expected a JavaScript module script but the server responded with a MIME type of "text/html"
A or dynamic import got HTML back instead of JavaScript.
GraphQL: Cannot query field "x" on type "Y"
The query asks for a field that doesn’t exist in the server’s schema (or isn’t available on that type).
API Error: Malformed JSON in request body (entity.parse.failed / JSON parse error)
The server couldn’t parse the request body as JSON, so it rejected the request before looking at any field.
GraphQL: Variable "$id" of required type "ID!" was not provided.
A GraphQL operation declares a non-null variable, but the request didn’t include a value for it.
