I am new to rails.

After I setup env :

  1. created first project with command rails new firstrail

  2. Enter demo directory

  3. run command rails server

Here, I got the error :

uglifier 2.7.2 was installed. I don’t know how to fix this error.

Does any know how to fix this ?

Please help me out, thank you !

Do you see any errors if you run bundle install It should not have been necessary to run it manually as it is run automatically when you do rails new, but perhaps there was an error that you did not notice. It is necessary to re-run bundle if you change Gemfile.

Otherwise then post the details of the error when you run the server please. Copy/paste the full terminal output that you get when you run rails s

I fixed this error by uncommenting gem ‘therubyracer’, ‘platforms: :ruby’ # this is a javascript runtime

in Gemfile

Thank you, Colin.

Hi,

i dont see any error but, still when i run rails server it is showing the error There was an error while trying to load the gem 'uglifier' C:\Ruby21-x64\rails\firstapp>bundle install

You should post the complete error instead of just the main message. Though it looks another case of windows script host error.

either: 1. use something more posix where ruby is actually intended to run (i.e. not windows) or 2. install nodejs (or just download node executable (node.exe) and put somewhere in your PATH)

The big problem you have is that you are trying to develop with Rails using Windows. I understand some have managed to achieve this but many have had significant problems. Most developers use Linux or Mac. My advice is to switch to a Linux distribution (such as Ubuntu). You can run this in a virtual machine under windows or you can dual boot the PC. I did the latter (using Ubuntu) when I started working with Rails and now very rarely boot into Windows as the vast majority of applications have equivalent apps on Ubuntu. It is great to feel that you are back in control of the PC after years of Microsoft dominance.
