Action Controller: Exception caught - turbolinks issue? - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am following Michael Hartl's Rails guide, and when I load localhost:3000 I get the following error messages in the browser:
Sprockets::FileNotFound in Static_pages#home
Showing /home/jonathan/Desktop/railsTut/sample_app/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #6 raised:
couldn't find file 'turbolinks'
(in /home/jonathan/Desktop/railsTut/sample_app/app/assets/javascripts/application.js:16)
This is my file from the aformentioned message
// This is a manifest file that'll be compiled into application.js, which will include all the files
// listed below.
//
// Any JavaScript/Coffee file within this directory, lib/assets/javascripts, vendor/assets/javascripts,
// or vendor/assets/javascripts of plugins, if any, can be referenced here using a relative path.
//
// It's not advisable to add code directly here, but if you do, it'll appear at the bottom of the
// the compiled file.
//
// WARNING: THE FIRST BLANK LINE MARKS THE END OF WHAT'S TO BE PROCESSED, ANY BLANK LINE SHOULD
// GO AFTER THE REQUIRES BELOW.
//
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require bootstrap
//= require turbolinks
//= require_tree .
also, I am not sure if it is related, but here is my Gemfile:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '3.2.13'
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '2.1'
gem 'bcrypt-ruby', '3.0.1'
gem 'faker', '1.0.1'
gem 'will_paginate', '3.0.3'
gem 'bootstrap-will_paginate', '0.0.6'
gem 'jquery-rails', '2.0.2'
group :development, :test do
gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.5'
gem 'rspec-rails', '2.11.0'
# gem 'guard-rspec', '1.2.1'
# gem 'guard-spork', '1.2.0'
# gem 'childprocess', '0.3.6'
# gem 'spork', '0.9.2'
end
# Gems used only for assets and not required
# in production environments by default.
group :assets do
gem 'sass-rails', '3.2.5'
gem 'coffee-rails', '3.2.2'
gem 'uglifier', '1.2.3'
end
group :development do
gem 'annotate', '2.5.0'
end
group :test do
gem 'capybara', '1.1.2'
gem 'factory_girl_rails', '4.2.1'
gem 'cucumber-rails', '1.2.1', :require => false
gem 'database_cleaner', '0.7.0'
# gem 'launchy', '2.1.0'
# gem 'rb-fsevent', '0.9.1', :require => false
# gem 'growl', '1.0.3'
end
group :production do
gem 'pg', '0.12.2'
end
Any help is much appreciated!

Answer 1

As I see, you dont have 'turbolinks' in your gemfile... just add it! :
Add gem 'turbolinks' to your Gemfile.
Run bundle install.
Add //= require turbolinks to your Javascript manifest file (usually
found at app/assets/javascripts/application.js).
Restart your
server, and you're now using turbolinks!

Answer 2

As RomanDev said just remove it, unless like me you were trying to get ride of turbolinks.
In which case remove //= require turbolinks from your application.js file.

Answer 3

It took me way too long to realize that adding turbolinks to the gemfile would fix this. I'm also going through Hartl's tutorial as a beginner (obviously).
