Backbone.js: Router callback not reached

Question

I\'m having trouble getting a simple App example to route. I\'m using the backbone-on-rails gem.

Here\'s my App.js.coffee:

    window.App =
      Models:

Looks like you just need to call Backbone.history.start rather than simply reference it. This just references the function:

Backbone.history.start

This calls it:

Backbone.history.start()

The function-calling parentheses are only optional when you supply some arguments.
