doesn't catch - %> ( vs -%> ) . Could be a suggestion

[moorthi07]

I had this error thrown by ejs which ejs-lint couldn't detect.

err SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list in C:\model.ts while compiling ejs

If the above error is not helpful, you may want to try EJS-Lint:
https://github.com/RyanZim/EJS-Lint

for a code like,

<%= ":" _ %>

First of all it should not throw an error as this code has both <% and %>. But this ejs detects this space (' ') between _ %> and throws an error.

It could be a meaning full error , may be like , its missing a closing '%>' - would be more appropriate.

But it was very hard for me to locate this little space in the large file!

I guess this couldn't hurt to add if you'd like to.
