Hello. This is a solution to another problem i faced.
I had this:
<%= link_to ‘Delete’,url_for(action: :delete,id: thing.id),method: :delete, data: {confirm: “Are you sure?”} %>
This should prompt a javascript confirmation with “OK” and “Cancel” buttons. but it won’t work and just goes to the action URL page.
The solution should be to add:
<%= javascript_include_tag :application %>
to your application.html.erb
But if you are on windows you will get this error:
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 56ms
ActionView::Template::Error (TypeError: Object doesn’t support this property or method
(in C:/path/file.js.coffee)):
There is something wrong with the ‘coffee-script-source’ gem on windows
So the solution is to update your Gemfile with:
gem ‘coffee-script-source’, ‘1.8.’0
And do
bundle update coffee-script-source
You will downgrade the coffee script source gem which works fine with windows.
