Question

When i try to include

<%= stylesheet_link_tag    \"application\" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag \"application\" %>

The content

Answer 1

I was also having this issue but with newer versions of Rails and Ruby.

Examining the log, I was being served javascript.js from Rails cache as the server didn't see a change in the file. I went and moved the require lines around (just one) to tell Rails that there's a change in the file and re-compile/use. Wellm that did it for me!

Hope it helps somebody.

Another important finding is to upgrade your sprockets gem in your Gemfile.

I had version 2.2.1 and had issues, after upgrading to 2.2.2, it worked

gem 'sprockets', '2.2.2'
