SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL at Function (native)

I used Slush to generate a lot of projects without any problems. But now for one project I have this error:

"events.js:85
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
            ^

I don't know exactly why, but when removing some folders and files, the slush works again. I was unable to find exactly what is causing this error. Is it in one of the modules? Is it a file copy/pasted in the new folder from slush that cause the error. Is it a 'too long name' problem?

[rdomingue]

For now I found that it seems to be from code inside some files that throw the errors. The list is not complete but I changed things like

<% Application Inherits="Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication" Language="C#" %>

To

< Application Inherits="Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication" Language="C#" >

And remove some things like ${major}

Somehow I can tell during the copying phase of slush to ignore caracters like theses ?

I think it's more related to gulp-template than slush. as you can see the <% %> syntax is part of the https://lodash.com/docs#template. I think you should try something like

<%= '\\<% Application Inherits="Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication" Language="C#" %\\>'%>

[rdomingue]

Exactly what I found after yeah. Well the problem is that I pull umbraco template so I cannot (and shouldn't) modify the files. I will need to pass a parameter to gulp-template to use something else than <% %>. I don't know if it's doable. The exemple I used here it's not really a big problem but I have other files that I must fill with variables that have bigger problems.

Thanks to point me a suggestion @amitmtrn I will try to find something on lodash.com but all this stuff is far from my field of knowledge. Thanks
