laravel blade templating error

14 December 2015 - 1 answer

I've got a master template at resources/views/layouts/main.blade.php. It looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>

</head>
<body>
@yield('test')
</body>
</html>

I'm stubbing out the login page at resources/views/auth/login.blade.php:

@extends('layouts.main)  

@section('test')
    test
@endsection

That's about as simple as it can get-- but I'm seeing the usual meaningless Laravel error messages:

FatalErrorException in 180d7ceab6e7cde074091b437eb5346a line 6:
syntax error, unexpected '__data' (T_STRING)

What am I missing?

you have missed a quote in this row: @extends('layouts.main)
