rails g backbone:install fails #128

Closed ktusznio closed 11 years ago

Running Ruby 1.9.3p0 and Rails 3.2.8.

Here's what happens when I run the backbone:install generator:

$ rails g backbone:install

You can solve this by just placing an application.js file in that location. Don't just use an empty file, put a copy of your real manifest file then do a diff to figure out what got added. My app/assets/javascripts is split between /html and /mobile so I had the same issue

Thanks for the solution, that works.
