This is a horrid error to debug, because of the nature of it. You've
left off a closing bracket somewhere, so the interpreter has gotten
all the way to the last "end" and said, "hang on, I have one opening
bracket too many" and baulked.

The easiest way to debug it is to go back to the last edits you did,
and look at the code for any unexpected indentation (if your editor
supports auto-indenting, or even better, identifying unclosed
brackets, it will help).
Otherwise, you're approach could be to remove all your files from the
app, and introduce them back one or two at a time - when it breaks,
you have narrowed-down the source of the problem... of course, this
approach has the difficulty of having to potentially make large edits
to the code to get it running with no models... :-/

Sorry I can't be any more help.
