[vite] Internal server error: [...]routeTree.gen.ts:28:1: ERROR: Expected identifier but found "/"

I am setting up a new vite-react project and intend to use tanstack-router. I have followed the Quick start instructions, but end up getting the following error when I run the development server. I have copied and named the files and directories as per the docs; __root.tsx, about.lazy.tsx, index.lazy.tsx, main.tsx.

Seems like the generated file routeTree.gen.ts was outdated. I deleted it, and re-ran the dev server. The file was re-generated, and everything works now.
