React Basics Tutorial: possible bug in babel-browser.min.js file.

Hey, I think I may have found a bug or some anomly.

page with issue: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/building-the-statistics-component

I am unable to compile the workspace from my React tutorial and unable to proceed with the tutorial. I tried a coupe of the exercises before and after the one in the above link and I get the same error.

Im working on chrome 54, Macbook Pro OSX 10.11, Having the same issue on safari as well.

Here is a screenshot of the error I'm getting: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B38GP_Y7NBkaVkVHWnp1dmN6WEU/view?usp=sharing

Its an issue with the babel-browser.min.js script

Please let me know how I can troubleshoot this ASAP.

Thanks, Ash

It's likely a syntax error in your own code. One of the peculiar things I found taking the React Basics course is that a syntax error in your code will report the error from where browser-based Babel was processing it, instead of where in your code it happens.

The command line based Babel is a bit better in reporting errors.
