Error when compiling coffeescript #5

Closed iosadchiy closed 13 years ago

iosadchiy commented 13 years ago

When I go to /javascripts/dashboard.js I get the following:

throw Error("NoMethodError: undefined method `compile' for nil:NilClass\n  (in /home/ivan/p/hack_night/public/javascripts/dashboard.js.coffee)")

Have I missed some setup?

iosadchiy commented 13 years ago

OK, that was due to outdated packages in ubuntu repository.

But heroku is still affected

iosadchiy commented 13 years ago

What I don't like here is how the app starts to depend on something external that cannot be resolved by a simple bundle install

iosadchiy commented 13 years ago

I like this thing https://github.com/Sutto/barista Doesn't support sprockets out of the box though (focuses on jammit) Anyway, worth examining

Didn't work this barista of your's. That's why I reverted to something more straightforward, and it never required anything but "bundle install" for me. So accusations are ungrounded. :)

iosadchiy commented 13 years ago

Ha! You do have node and coffee binaries installed on your system. Try removing them! ^_^ It's cool you've already looked into barista... at least the option is examined (and trashed :).

alg commented 13 years ago

You certainly can have a look if you like. I just couldn't make it work. As for the rest, what are our options? How's it supposed to work on Heroku at all, do you know?

iosadchiy commented 13 years ago

closing as resolved...

Getting this error too -- not sure where to start looking.

iosadchiy commented 13 years ago

Rails cannot find a javascript engine to compile coffeescript. Add therubyracer gem or install node.js and coffeescript binaries. Which js runtime will be used is determined by execjs gem (http://rubygems.org/gems/execjs) so you can probably start looking there

As for this issue, we ended up with therubyracer.
