I am working on a project that uses a Rails server while using JSPM to organize Javascript files while also using Sprockets to pipeline assets.
My rails server works, but I cannot currently render any views. I think this has something to do with sprockets not successfully managing the processors that compiles the JavaScript. (An additional note: the JavaScript is is ES6). What the below error seems to be saying is that the server tries to render the index page, but the JSON is absent because the JS is not compiled (my guess). This said, I really have no idea how to fix this problem.
The error is below:
`JSON::ParserError in Application#index
Showing /Users/ben/agora/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #14 raised:
A JSON text must at least contain two octets!
