Please consider revising the instructions to reflect the actual intent of the problem.

this was almost a great 7kyu, but the double-spaced words ruined it.

Derp, thanks!

I've seen the unterminted error before though, so I'm not sure why that didn't show up.

Your JSX is unterminated. Try <input/>.

I agree that the error is useless.

I've been going through some of the ReactJS Katas here on codewars and have run into several lack-luster errors about syntax, but I think this is different:

/runner/node_modules/babel-core/lib/transformation/file/index.js:590
      throw err;
      ^

SyntaxError: /home/codewarrior/index.js: Unexpected token (20:4)

const React = require("react");

class Beast extends React.Component{
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = { name: '' }
  }

  render() {
    return(
      <input>
    );
  }
}

This is a pretty sparse component, so I'm not sure why it has caused this error, nor do I have any idea what the error is talking about.
