SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: missing / in file [.../report.html].

[Tony]

I've set a proof of concept project, which properly renders HTML and sends an email, which it does,

Then I attempted to use the Handlebars {{#each objects}} directive in the template, and now I'm getting the following:

SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: missing / in file [.../report.html].

where ... [.../report.html] is the raw html template.

I'm putting handlebar variables in it which renders non-repeated variables just fine, I'm trying to allow it to use an array and repeat a section of the email.

var EmailTemplates = require('swig-email-templates'),
    nodemailer = require('nodemailer'),
    handlebars = require('express-handlebars'),
    hbs = require('nodemailer-express-handlebars');

var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport('smtp://smtp.advantix.local');
var viewEngine = handlebars.create({});
transporter.use('compile', hbs({
    viewEngine: viewEngine,
    viewPath: path.resolve(__dirname, 'templates/views'),
    extName: '.hb'
}));
var templates = new EmailTemplates({
    root: path.join(__dirname, 'templates/src'),
    juice: {
        webResources: {
            images: 9      // Inline images under 8kB
        }
    }
});
var context = {
    coverImage: 'http://i.istockimg.com/file_thumbview_approve/64115753/6/stock-illustration-64115753-hands-holding-smartphone-vector-.jpg',
    coverBackground: '#4091BE',
    devices: [
        { phoneNumber: '[phone]', type: 'iPhone', price: '$909.09', chartPath: '' },
        { phoneNumber: '[phone]', type: 'Monitor Phone', price: '$33.33', chartPath: '' }
    ]
};
templates.render('./report.html', context, function(err, html, text) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
    } else {
        // Send email
        transporter.sendMail({
            from: '[e-mail]',
            to: '[e-mail]',
            subject: 'Mobility Report',
            html: html,
            text: text
        });
    }
});

Any idea where I'm going wrong?

I'm not sure why you're using swig-email-templates if you are using Handlebars templates. swig-email-templates uses the Swig templating engine which has different syntax to Handlebars.
