Could not find a JavaScript runtime

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hi,

I am trying to setup RoR on my test developer node, and I have some difficulties when I created my new application. I noticed that the “script” directory is not created, which it does not allow me to start hosting the web page. I installed the ExecJS, but the ruby still not finding the JavaScript runtime. I was trying to install nodejs from RHEL 6 repository but I have multiples RPMs which I am not sure which is the correct one. I provided here some output errors for your review. Could you help me? Or Do you know who could help me?

Hi Juan,

use this :- -“gem install therubyracer”

-“bundle install”

-add “gem ‘therubyracer’” line in Gemfile which is located inside the project

-rails server

WEBrick Server should start.

Hi Juan,

use this :- -"gem install therubyracer" -"bundle install" -add "gem 'therubyracer'" line in Gemfile which is located inside the project -rails server

bundle install needs to be after adding therubyracer to Gemfile. Also I don't think you need to install therubyracer manually as bundle install will do it.

Hey I think i missed one line . Actually i stated 2 different ways to resolve the problem ,if you add in the gemfile then simply bundle install will do the work or you can manually install and add it to the gemfile. U can choose any of the way . Better will be you add it in the gemfile and then run bundle install.

Thanks.

I may be wrong but I think it will not work unless you add it to Gemfile and bundle install

Hi,

To be specific it has to be included in gemfile and then running bundle install will download and install the updated gem. Then javascript runtime error should go away. If you want any further clarifications let us know.

Thanks.

I am trying to setup RoR on my test developer node, and I have some difficulties when I created my new application. I noticed that the “script” directory is not created, which it does not allow me to start hosting the web page.

# rails -v Rails 4.1.6

It sounds like you're using an out-of-date tutorial --

      create bin       create bin/bundle       create bin/rails       create bin/rake

IT DOES NOT CREATE THE SCRIPT DIRECTORY

Exactly correct. Rails 4.0 and on don't have a "script" directory; it's been replaced by "bin".

# ruby script/server Webrick ruby: No such file or directory -- script/server (LoadError)

That's Rails < 4.0 syntax

You would start your local dev server with `rails server` (or `rails s`). Try running `rails --help` for more info.

Don't run Bundler as root.

There's really no good reason to run development as root, at least that I've ever seen; better to use a standard user account to limit the possibility of accidental damage :slight_smile:

HTH and good luck,

When we using Unix system for ror setup , we use therubyracer gem but therubyracer is not working on the windows platform. On windows platform use node-js.

Also other way is remove reuqire tree in application js file but this not correct way.
