Rails Logs: Notes on Fixing a Few Small Errors
# Runtime error
ruby
'Could not find a JavaScript runtime' but execjs AND therubyracer are in Gemfile
# solution.
Just add the following to your gemfile
ruby
gem 'execjs'
gem 'therubyracer', :platforms => :ruby
and that fixes it
# Got this warning
ruby
add gem 'sqlite3'
But sqlite3 was already in the gemfile, and it still threw an error
# solution.
Change the original
ruby
gem 'sqlite3'
to
ruby
gem 'sqlite3','~> 1.3.0'
I think Ruby's biggest problem is that gem dependency issues come up all the time, but the error hints are just terrible
