I think it's a bug in that template. If you take a look at these few
lines in the template:
var scrapeAnItem = function(
doc, // the HTML document you are scraping from
node, // the HTML DOM node that represents the item to
be scraped
detailsPagesArray, // the array of details pages
) {
there is an extraneous comma after the last parameter. I think it is
causing the syntax error.
The code of these templates produce no output by default. You need to
fill them out. Take a look at the various comments inside them.
