[Bug]: Generate My Projects button not working due to JavaScript SyntaxError

[jayapattar20-tech]

What happened?

Expected: Clicking "Generate My Projects" should display project recommendations.

Actual: Nothing happens after clicking the button. Browser console shows:
"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input (script.js:958)"

This prevents project generation and related functionality from working properly.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open http://127.0.0.1:5000
2. Select any skill, experience level, interest, and time availability
3. Click "Generate My Projects"
4. Observe that no project recommendations are displayed
5. Open browser console (F12) and notice:
   "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input (script.js:958)"

Expected behaviour

After clicking "Generate My Projects", the application should display recommended project cards based on the selected filters without any JavaScript errors.

Area of the app affected

Python version

3.10

Operating system

Hi @komalharshita, I would like to work on this issue.
I investigated the bug and found a JavaScript console error:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input (script.js:958)

I’ll work on fixing the issue and submit a PR soon.

Hi @komalharshita, I would like to work on this issue under GSSoC 2026.

I tested the project locally and was able to see the same issue with the “Generate My Projects” button. I also checked the console error in "script.js" and would like to work on fixing it.

Please assign this issue to me if it’s available

Hi @komalharshita , I fixed the JavaScript errors related to the Generate My Projects form. The request is now completing without console errors, but the results section is still rendering empty. Could you please clarify whether project cards/data are already implemented in the backend/API, or if the endpoint currently returns an empty projects array intentionally?

Hi @komalharshita , I’ve submitted the PR for this issue: #507.
The fetch/API handling issue has been fixed and recommendation requests are now completing successfully without console errors. Please review when available. Thank you!
