Why doesn't JS work in rails?

Question

Ruby on Rails

Hello, I’ll start with the fact that I work on Windows, and it’s impossible to install Ubuntu on a PC, if it worked out, I would have worked there for a long time ..
The following problem, when loading the rails page, complains and gives an error in the line

<%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>

As an option, I replaced "application" with "default" and the page began to load, but then CRUD does not work, or rather the destroy method. On the forums, they write that you can install node.js, but a simple installation did not help me, maybe I still need to configure it somehow ??
Error: TypeError: Object does not support this property or method
(in C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby2.1.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/turbolinks-2.5.3/lib/assets/javascripts/turbolinks.js. coffee)

Answer 1

The problem is following while loading the rails page complains and throws an error on the line

Why don't you write the error itself? This is a fully functional code. Sprockets even work fine on Windows.
And it is necessary to deliver niksa. On Windows, half of the gems will not work. I'm talking about the console.
Solution: install nodejs and add the path to the node binary to the environment variables. Don't forget to restart the server.

Answer 2

Install any Linux (ubuntu/fedora/debian/mint...) second OS or in a virtual machine. I assure you, writing rails code will become more convenient.

Answer 3

Install the coffee-script-source gem.
'application' should not be changed to 'default'
