This appears to be a Dataview plugin error. They’ll give you better information in the Dataview GitHub issues.

It appears you have Dataview installed with the “Enable inline queries” option activated. When active, Dataview will intercept code spans that start with = and try to evaluate them as an expression. For example:

The span == is not a valid Dataview expression, so you receive an error.

If you don’t use inline queries and would like to turn them off, you can set this in Settings:
