Unexpected token ILLEGAL - multiline problem in polymer.html

[teek]

I've just updated today polymer by bower and got an 'Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL'. I'm actually using polymer in RoR.

Fixed for me in polymer/polymer.html by changing this lines:

<link rel="import" href="layout.html">

<script src="polymer.js"></script>
<!--<link rel="import" href="../polymer-dev/polymer.html">--> 

to this

<link rel="import" href="layout.html"> \
<script src="polymer.js"></'+'script>

I'm confused by this. Do you have some setup that turns html files into javascript? The HTML parser will never spit errors out on the console.

Closing this issue due to age and the release of version 1 of Polymer - please feel free to re-open if this is incorrect.

Hey @ankurwase, what exactly does the file look like that's causing this problem? This doesn't appear like a problem in Polymer. Also - are you using the latest Polymer 1.2.3?
