Hi @vapid grail. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

This error is typically caused by using JSX syntax in a file with a .js extension. JSX syntax is used in React and is not recognized by JavaScript by default.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Change the file extension from .js to .jsx or .tsx if you're using TypeScript. This will allow your development environment to recognize the JSX syntax.

2. Ensure that you're importing React in the file where you're using JSX syntax. You can do this by adding the line import * as React from 'react'; at the top of your file.

3. Check your tsconfig.json file to ensure that it's set up to handle JSX. You should have a line that says "jsx": "react-jsx" under the compilerOptions.

Here's an example of how your file might look after making these changes:

import * as React from 'react';

export default function SubscriptionEmail() {
  return (
    <div>
      // Your JSX code here
    </div>
  );
}

If you're still encountering issues after trying these steps, it might be helpful to compare your code with a working example. You can find an example of a Convex file that uses JSX syntax here (https://github.com/thomasballinger/convex-html-email-example/blob/main/convex/email.tsx).

@gleaming pond the solution number three is actually the issue. Nextjs needs it to be preserve.

" We detected TypeScript in your project and reconfigured your tsconfig.json file for you. Strict-mode is set to false by default.
The following mandatory changes were made to your tsconfig.json:

   - jsx was set to preserve (next.js implements its own optimized jsx transform)"

I could overwrite this but it seems like my app does not correctly when I change it to "react-jsx". Is there another work around?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

If you're using Next.js, it's indeed recommended to set "jsx": "preserve" in your tsconfig.json file. This is because Next.js has its own optimized JSX transform.

However, when working with Convex, you might encounter issues if you're trying to use JSX syntax in your Convex functions. This is because Convex expects the "jsx": "react-jsx" setting in the tsconfig.json file.

One possible workaround is to separate your Convex functions into a different directory and have a separate tsconfig.json file for that directory. This way, you can have different TypeScript configurations for your Next.js app and your Convex functions.

Here's an example of how you might structure your project:

/my-app
  /convex
    tsconfig.json
    function1.tsx
    function2.tsx
  /next-app
    tsconfig.json
    pages/
    components/

In the tsconfig.json file in the convex directory, you can set "jsx": "react-jsx". In the tsconfig.json file in the next-app directory, you can set "jsx": "preserve".

Please note that this is a general suggestion and might not cover all possible scenarios. If you're still encountering issues, I recommend reaching out to the Convex support team for further assistance.
