Listings Package – How to Resolve Common Errors

Question

I am using listing package for inserting code snippets in my thesis in several chapters of my thesis. I use the following style to insert code snippets :

   \lstset{emph={sensors, string}, emphstyle={\color{blue}\bfseries\emph}, 
caption={Code snippet of the building automation domain.}, escapechar=\#,  
label=vocabDSL}
    \lstinputlisting{code-snippet/extract-vocabsec.txt} 

I am getting the following errors. My compilation indicates error at
this code location \lstinputlisting{code-snippet/extract-vocabsec.txt}

Pdflatex> Argument of \lst@for has an extra }
pdflatex> <inserted text>
pdflatex>   \par
pdflatex> l.140 ...isting{code-snippet/extract-vocabsec.txt}
pdflatex>
pdflatex> Runaway argument?
pdflatex> ! Paragraph ended before \lst@for was complete
pdflatex> <to be read again>
pdflatex>   \par
pdflatex> l.140 ...isting{code-snippet/extract-vocabsec.txt}
pdflatex> 

for reference, I have added following header of my main compilation document.

\documentclass[twoside,12pt]{Classes/aesm_edspia}

\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\definecolor{name}{rgb}{0.5,0.5,0.5}

Comment out line no. 376 in aesm_edspia.cls

%\def\uppercase{}

assuming the document class is like http://aesm.asso.univ-poitiers.fr/files/Modele_Latex.zip
