I\'m working on a Rails 4 (using the release candidate) project and now need to collaborate with someone on a Windows machine. I can\'t even get a basic webpage to come up,
I have been facing this problem for a while and it's that on windows jquery and coffee script are not functional in their latest update and finally i found this wonderful method that worked perfectly without the need to download node or escape //require tree. So all you need is configure the settings in your runtimes.rb which lives in execjs to be like this- you will find this part with few differences fix them and you'll be good to go.
JScript = ExternalRuntime.new(
:name => "JScript",
:command => "cscript //E:jscript //Nologo",
:runner_path => ExecJS.root + "/support/jscript_runner.js",
:encoding => 'UTF-8' # CScript with //U returns UTF-16LE
