Rails syntax error missing parenthasizes

I am getting a weird syntax error from rails that I don't understand.

GETTING THE FOLLOWING ERROR:

Showing /home/action/workspace/clinio/app/views/tasks/_task.html.erb where line #3 raised:

/home/action/workspace/clinio/app/views/tasks/_task.html.erb:3: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting ':' ';@output_buffer.append=( image... ^

Extracted source (around line #3):

  <% @uncompletedtasks = @task if @uncompletedtasks?%>
  <li id="task_"> 
    <div><%= image_tag "26-mini-gray-checkmark.png" %> 
        <a href="<%=task_path(@uncompletedtasks)%>"> <%= @uncompletedtasks.task %> </a>
    </div>
  </li>

Trace of template inclusion: app/views/tasks/_task.html.erb, app/views/layouts/application.html.erb

Rails.root: /home/action/workspace/clinio

Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:35:in _app_views_layouts_application_html_erb__122972711486791642_46610700' app/controllers/users_controller.rb:16:inindex'

You don't need that question mark at the end.

<% @uncompletedtasks = @task if @uncompletedtasks %>

(the purpose of this code still eludes me, though. Why would you want overwrite @uncompletedtasks only if it has value?)
