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?
Quick and dirty solution: remove
//= require_tree .
fromapplication.js
.As I explain in the comments for the question, this doesn't actually solve the underlying issue that is causing the error, but merely sidesteps it.
