Installed crontab-ui from npm first, got this error message in the browser, then went back and installed via building a docker image and got the same error message in the browser:

{"message":"Unexpected identifier in /crontab-ui/views/index.ejs while compiling ejs\n\nIf the above error is not helpful, you may want to try EJS-Lint:\nhttps://github.com/RyanZim/EJS-Lint\nOr, if you meant to create an async function, pass `async: true` as an option."}

Got the same issue on an Ubuntu 18.04 with: node -v v13.2.0 npm --version 6.13.1

Interesting. I can't reproduce this on mac. What happens when you run this:

docker run -p 8000:8000 alseambusher/crontab-ui

@alseambusher The error message I pasted above is what happens. I installed it via npm then created a docker container and both had the same result.

Same error here. It was running fine on macOS 10.12 and then I upgraded to 10.15 and it was not behaving properly so I updated npm and crontab-ui to the latest version ran the command and same error.

{"message":"Unexpected identifier in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/crontab-ui/views/index.ejs while compiling ejs\n\nIf the above error is not helpful, you may want to try EJS-Lint:\nhttps://github.com/RyanZim/EJS-Lint\nOr, if you meant to create an async function, pass async: true as an option."}

Might be related to mde/ejs#477

Upgrade to 0.3.9 (latest) https://github.com/alseambusher/crontab-ui/releases/tag/v0.3.9 and let me know if it fixes things

[arimav]

Yup, it worked!!!

Now if I can only figure out where my backups are stored :(

Thanks

[alseambusher]

Great!

It is usually stored in $(npm root -g)/crontab-ui/crontabs folder. Ideally, you should copy the contents of that folder when you upgrade crontab-ui. I should add that to readme.
