Theme Development: Liquid Syntax Error: Unknown Tag 'Schema'

[Charles51]

Hi guys!

I’m trying to create a new section for my shopify store. I created a new .liquid file, and when I try to sync the following code to my github repository, I really can’t manage to find why I get the Liquid Syntax Error: Unknown Tag ‘Schema’ error.

If the picture doesn’t work, here is the code:

{% schema %}
{
“name”: “Product Options”,

“settings”: [
{
“id”: “prod-opt”,
“type”: “text”,
“label”: “Add a Product Options Dashboard”
}
],

“templates”: [
“index”,
“page”,
“product”
]
}

{% endschema %}

---

Thanks Have a good day!

Hello, seems like it’s an issue from Shopify side, bump this up for their attentions

Same issue here, can’t believe they’re doing the parsing online lol

Same issue here.
node v22.15.0
@shopify/cli v3.88.1.

Tried rolling back shopify cli and node versions but the error persists. Tried ignoring the error with .theme-check.yml, and I’m able to pass ‘shopify theme check’ but I still have the same error when running shopify app dev.

There’s a shopify dev community thread with more people reporting the problem. I tried to file an issue on github and it sent me there.

Same issue here. I haven’t upgraded the version of Shopify. Today, when I opened the project, it couldn’t run. It was working fine a few days ago.
My current version: @shopify/cli: 3.88.1

I’m getting the following error from Shopify’s side during shopify app preview, even though the build succeeds:
This is happening inside a Theme App Extension.
post-purchase-extension builds successfully
Error appears only for theme-app-extension during preview
Files affected are under extensions/theme-app-extension/blocks/*.liquid
