I was using the @extends without specifying the extended class. Problem solved but it would be nice to know where the error is occurring so you can track it down a little more easily.

[davglass]

Thanks, I'll look into this.

[teknico]

I have a similar error, and no idea of where to look for the problem:

[jwerre]

I suggest using the --server option, that way when you have an error there survey will spit out an error.

[teknico]

Thanks for the suggestion, jwerre. However the traceback shown via the --server option is the same unsuggestive one as shown before.

For the record, the problem was a valueless @ tag. I hereby renew my plea for better error diagnostics. Thank you. :-)

[zebulonj]

+1 to the request for better error diagnostics. Otherwise, love this tool.
