Question

When i try to include

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

The content

Answer 1

Are you using sass or less or something similar?

I just had this problem and I found it was because the application.css file contained scss code, which it cannot handle by default.

Simply renaming the file to application.css.scss resolved this issue under Rails 4.2.1.
