Can't get new Rails app with Devise to display sign_in/sign_up pages

Question

I get the following error:

ExecJS::RuntimeError in Devise::Sessions#new

Showing C:/Users/me/RubymineProjects/my_project/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #6 raised:

  (in C:/Ruby200-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/turbolinks-1.1.1/lib/assets/javascripts/turbolinks.js.coffee)
Extracted source (around line #6):
3  <head>
4    <title>HourlyTracker</title>
5    <%= stylesheet_link_tag    "application", media: "all", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
6    <%= javascript_include_tag "application", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
7    <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
8  </head>
9  <body>

I'm using the 3.0.0rc version of Devise, which is supposed to work with Ruby 2.0 and Rails 4.0rc1. I'm on Windows x64.

You might be missing `therubyracer` gem; see http://stackoverflow.com/a/8882423/429758 — Prakash Murthy, May 23 '13 at 08:24
I believe that your issue could be possibly something to do with `data-turbolinks-track` I had a conflicting issue with turbolinks in my application. Once I had removed it from my application everything was fine — Deej, May 23 '13 at 08:31
@PrakashMurthy - I read that too about therubyracer. Unfortunately I can't get therubyracer to install on Windows :(. Well, more specifically, libv8, which therubyracer depends on, doesn't work with Windows. — at., May 23 '13 at 08:45
@at you could try and look at the following link - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6356450/therubyracer-gem-on-windows some of these answers may just help you. — Deej, May 23 '13 at 08:57
@David - those responses seem to suggest therubyracer and libv8 won't install on Windows but it doesn't matter anyway. But Devise suddenly needs therubyracer and therefore won't run on Windows? — at., May 23 '13 at 09:22
include the 'execjs' and 'therubyracer' gems in your gem file and run 'bundle install' that's it. — Mohd Anas, May 23 '13 at 11:54
@MohdAnas - execjs was already in my gem list, therubyracer seems like it doesn't install on Windows. — at., May 23 '13 at 14:56

Click here and install node.js' windows version. It will solve your problem: http://nodejs.org/

On windows, on linux and on mac, the best V8 engine is nodejs and you don't have to install any other gem for this.

If you have "turbolinks" within assets group, get it out.

I had similar issue where my test failed because one or all of following gems were within test group,

  gem 'jquery-rails', '3.0.4'
  gem 'turbolinks', '1.1.1'
  gem "haml-rails"
  gem 'gumby-framework'
  gem "modernizr-rails"

but when I got them out of the group my test passed.

This is 3 years late, but for anybody who finds this, the error the OP got most likely means that he has a typo in his coffee files. He likely typed something that Coffee doesn't recognize.
