Node.JS Vash TypeError: while rendering template object is not a function - node.js

Question

There is another thread that covers this, but I am not allowed to post to it. Also, the only answer does not seem to solve my problem.
I am getting the Object not a function error when using the #html.extend() method. I have read all of the very limited threads on this topic. They all say the same thing. That I need to ensure the path is correct to the layout.vash file I am extending. My declaration looks like this in the file that I want to want to extend with my layout.vash file.
#html.extend('layout', function (model) {
.... do stuff ...
})
What is odd, is that some pages work fine others don't. The path is correct. I am sure of this because of the fact the files in the same director exhibit different behavior.
Does anyone know what other mistake I could be making to cause this error?

Answer 1

In my case, vash was unable to parse the content within ...
I pulled it out from the layout page and created a separate .css file, and the annoying "object is not a function" error disappeared.
I speculate that vash collides with some css syntax.
For you info, my style statements that caused the trouble were these.
<style type="text/css">
*{padding:0;margin:0;}
html{border-top:10px #1abf89 solid;}
body{width:800px;margin:0 auto;padding:5% 20px 20px;font-family:Palatino, Optima, Georgia, serif;}
#media all and (max-width:1024px){ body, pre a{width:60%;} }
small{color:#999;}
#toolbar{margin-bottom:1em;position:fixed;left:20px;margin-top:5px;}
#toolbar [class^="icon-"]:before, #toolbar [class*=" icon-"]:before{font-family:'pen'}
#mode{color:#1abf89;;cursor:pointer;}
#mode.disabled{color:#666;}
#mode:before{content: '\e813';}
#hinted{color:#1abf89;cursor:pointer;}
#hinted.disabled{color:#666;}
#hinted:before{content: '\e816';}
#fork{position:fixed;right:0;top:0;}
/*

*/
#media print {
#fork, #toolbar {
display: none;
}
body {
width: 94%;
padding-top: 1em;
font-size: 12px;
}
html {
border-top: 0;
}
}
</style>
