I had the same error.

I was missing a comma after in the React.renderComponent

Make sure you have this

React.renderComponent(
<APP />,
document.getElementById('main'));

and not this

React.renderComponent(
<APP />
document.getElementById('main'));

It says the error is in the fake_blahdedah.js file but it's probably a syntax error in one of your .js files.

Hope that helps.
