Rails coffeescript : TypeError: Object doesn't support this property or method

Question

I have the following rails configuration:

Windows 7
Rails 4.1.1
Ruby 2.0.0p481
Gem: coffee-rails 4.0.1
Gem: coffee-script 2.3.0
Gem: coffee-script-source 1.9         


        

Answer 1

According tho this, CoffeeScript doesn't play well with Windows. You may want to try downgrading the version of CoffeeScript or completely removing it from your Gemfile.

Then just rename the .coffee file to a plain .js and rock regular javascript in your Rails app.

Answer 2

I think renaming extension is not good solution. Try following:

Add to Gemfile

gem 'coffee-script-source', '1.8.0'

then, run

bundle update coffee-script-source

and restart the server (if needed)
