V0 gets stuck with Unexpected token error

When V0 make updates to the code, it sometimes messes code up. Oftentimes the error is able to be fixed by V0 itself but sometimes it gets stuck trying to solve the same error again and again.

The error says

Unexpected token. Did you mean `{'}'}` or `}`? > } > ^ `

When I see the code in those cases, there’s weird back slush at the closing parenthesis of return:

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <div>
    ...
    </div>
  )\ 
}

I’m not sure why this issue happens a bit often but may be AI is not good at writing correct JSX?
May be there’s something possible in the prompt to improve?

Perhaps you could try using more specific prompts like “fix the JSX syntax error” rather than general requests.

Some prevention tips:

  • When asking for code changes, be specific about what you want modified
  • If you notice v0 starting to make syntax errors, interrupt early and ask it to “rewrite the component from scratch” instead of making incremental changes
  • For complex components, break down requests into smaller, focused changes
