Exception in AspnetMvc with Razor: Parser Error Message: Expected “}”.

The below text/error can occur if you have missed one of the } in jquery in a @section features{ section.

It can be hard tracking exactly which } is missing because commenting out the javascript code doesn’t change anything – it seems the razor engine doesn’t care about that type of comments.  Instead start the @section{} anew and copy-paste the code in again piece by piece.

In my case it was a totally ok javascript for loop:

for (i = 0 ; i < 12 ; i++) { }

Event though it is correct syntax it makes Razor fail.  Seems to be a bug in AspnetMVC/Razor/Dotnet4.5/Visualstudio11.
I am losing karma by not making the bug easy to reproduce and report the bug.

Server Error in ‘/myApplication’ Application.

    I’ve had this same bug. It is a crazy Razor bug.

    Stupid Razor considers the “<" symbol as an opening angle bracket. We can fool him, closing brackets after comment:

    for (i = 0 ; i

    It works! :)
