'rails console' command throwing error in Rails 3.2.9

Question

I am using Rails 3.2.9 with ruby 1.9.3 (made default using RVM). From the root directory of my test_app when I executed the command 'rails console' / 'rails c', the following error is showing.

rails console

Can anyone help me to resolve this?

Answer 1

Yes, I got the answer for my question.

Just Open the file 'Gemfile' inside the root directory of your application folder, and then paste the below lines there.

gem 'execjs'

gem 'libv8'

gem 'therubyracer'

After pasting it, just save the file and execute 'bundle update' on the command prompt.

On finishing bundle update successfully, you try running 'rails c' or 'rails console' for taking the rails console. It works!!

Thank you.

Answer 2

try installing

gem 'therubyracer'

source

HTH

Answer 3
