UPDATE: Colin's suggestion of removing the line //= require_tree . has fixed the issue.
I have wasted over 2 days trying to follow every suggestion out there and fix my issue. I am trying to follow the http://ruby.railstutorial.org book on windows machine and cannot for the life of me get past the following nasty error.

I have installed Devkit and have tried various gems but please suggest changes which can help me develop on windows. I used rubyinstaller for everything.
What am I missing?
Had the same issue OS- Windows 8 Error- 'ExecJS::RuntimeError...' Solution- missing Node.js
I had this problem and was scowering the internet I am running Windows 8 with this rails gem file
Went to http://nodejs.org/download/ installed - restarted the machine and everything worked.
I used the solution number 2 because previously i had have this mistake, but in this ocation didn't work, then I added the
gem 'coffee-script-source', '1.8.0'
and run
and my problem was fixed
Here's a less complicated solution, for beginners:
If you are just working through the tutorial, you are probably working with the default Gemfile (or very nearly). You can open it up in your text editor, and remove the pound sign from the front of this line:
You will need to re-run
bundle install
, which will likely download a few things. But once it does, you should be able to start the server without any problem.At least, that worked for me.
This also works on Ubuntu 12.04, by the way.
Running Win 8 64 bit rails 4.2.5 ruby 2.1.7
This one worked for me
For beginners like me:
Change line 6 from:
'<%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>'
to
