Angular2/Nativescript: Strange "Unexpected tag" error when nesting StackLayouts

I am busy with an Angular2 Nativescript app which worked perfectly fine before but after moving a input field to another part of my view I get the below errors saying Unexpected closing tag "StackLayout"... Any idea what could be causing this? Is there a limit to the number of stack layouts that can be nested inside each other? The input field I moved to a different part of the view is the qty input field...

The error I get:

And here is my Component HTML code:

Solution

  • Here is your issue:

     <StackLayout class="input-field">
       <TextField class="input input-border" hint="Enter Quantity" keyboardType="number" [(ngModel)]="qty">
 </StackLayout>

    You forgot the closing </TextField> The next closing tag is the /StackLayout which it is throwing the error on because it doesn't match the TextField before it.
