I am very new to rails. No idea how to fix it. I cannot even start a simple rails app!

Environment:
    Windows 7
    Ruby 2.1.0
    Rails 4.2.3

First: I ran generate command

D:\railprojects\blog>rails generate controller Pages index

routes.rb

    Rails.application.routes.draw do
  get 'pages/index'

end

pages_controller.rb

class PagesController < ApplicationController
  def index
  end
end

index.html.erb

<h1>Pages#index</h1>
<p>Find me in app/views/pages/index.html.erb</p>

I am getting following error.

http://127.0.0.1:3000/pages

    you should replace existing line with this in your routes file `get 'pages/', to: 'pages#index` – Athar Aug 11 '15 at 07:53
  • For ExecJS error , take a look at [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12520456/execjsruntimeerror-on-windows-trying-to-follow-rubytutorial) , – dreamingblackcat Aug 11 '15 at 15:38

try 

localhost:3000/pages/index

or if you want to go on index page with this localhost:3000/pages change routes

resources :pages

  • Hi, changes that but still shows error. Due to stackoverflow rule I could not attached the screen shot but here is the error. ExecJS::ProgramError in Pages#index Showing D:/railprojects/blog/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #6 raised: TypeError: Object doesn't support this property or method Rails.root: D:/railprojects/blog Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:6:in `_app_views_layouts_application_html_erb__2066577970_70340560' Request Parameters: None – Khoga Aug 11 '15 at 08:14

You should point 

http://localhost:3000/pages/index

in your browser to reach proper action.

This is because of your route configuration:

get 'pages/index'

If you would like to be able to point /pages, you have to reconfigure it to look like:

get 'pages', to: 'pages#index'

You can find more about Rails routing here;

Good luck!

UPDATE

The whole content of config/routes.rb should look like:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  get 'pages', to: 'pages#index'
end

  • @Khoga, it's very difficult to read the stack trace from comments, could you update your question with this information? – Paweł Dawczak Aug 11 '15 at 08:19
  • Ok, my apologies @Khoga, I'm afraid I've confused you a bit... Please check my answer updated, so you can find the content of whole `config/routes.rb` – Paweł Dawczak Aug 11 '15 at 08:26

First of all, dont use Windows to developing in Rails... YOu will have a lot of headaches. Believe in me.

If you dont want to install Linux (like ubuntu), you can use vagrant (https://www.vagrantup.com/).

About your error, you defined pages/index route, but you are trying to visit pages route.

What you can is, is define the pagesroute, like:

get 'pages', to: 'pages#index'

with that, you can visit you page in this way: http://localhost:3000/pageswhich will send you to PagesController and index action.

About another error: ExecJS::ProgramError in Pages#index Showing ...

  • Hi, did that as Pawel suggested. no luck. Seems I have to install Ubuntu! – Khoga Aug 11 '15 at 08:42
  • @Khoga did restart the server after install NodeJS ? maybe you need to restart Windows too – WeezHard Aug 11 '15 at 08:53
  • Hi, how to install nodejs? gem install nodejs ?? – Khoga Aug 11 '15 at 09:57
  • Installed Rails on Ubuntu and everything fine! not going to to use Windows.A huge thanks to @Paweł Dawczak. Sorry I could not mark both of you correct. – Khoga Aug 12 '15 at 00:06
