Are you using an SSR adapter? If so, which one?

None

Describe the Bug

I forked Astro's Alpine JS example from https://astro.new/, and only added this into index.astro (show be a valid Alpine expression):

<a :href="`https://smth.com`">Link</a>

This should generate a link to https://smth.com, but throws an error: ERROR: Expected ";" but found "https".

Thanks! I suspect this is a bug in our compiler, will try to get this looked at ASAP.
