Solution 1

Its definitely a problem with the bootstrap file. The line 1 contains '<'.

Try manually opening the files and removing it.

Solution 2

I was getting the same issue with the ASP.Net. All I had to do is to clean the solution and rebuild it.

Here is the code of my index.html:

<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" >
    <title>Index</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/main.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" ng-href="bower_components/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
 </head>
 <body ng-app="app">


    <div ng-view></div>

    <script src="bower_components/angular/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="bower_components/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <script src="bower_components/angular-route/angular-route.min.js"></script>
    <script src="bower_components/angular-bootstrap/ui-bootstrap-tpls.min.js"></script>
    <script src="scripts/angular/app.js"></script>
    <script src="scripts/angular/controllers.js"></script>
 </body>
</html>

However, it shows the error in return:

bootstrap.min.js:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

ui-bootstrap-tpls.min.js:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

bootstrap_error

Is it the problem of my code or bootstrap? I found the error exists when I add

<script src="bower_components/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

and

<script src="bower_components/angular-bootstrap/ui-bootstrap-tpls.min.js"></script>

into the index.html. Does anyone know the cause of the error? Thanks :)

Thanks!! I checked the bootstrap file and found that the index.html code is saved inside...I am now using bootstrap CDN link instead of bootstrap installed from bower and it is now solved. Although I still cannot figure out why index.html code will be saved inside the bootstrap.min.js while it is retrieved from bower...
