rails 3.1, why my coffee scripts not working? - ruby-on-rails-3.1

I am trying to test coffee script in my rails 3.1 project, but it doesn't get executed, or generated as javascript in the application.js
I have a controller Page, here is the pages.js.coffee:
test = (input) ->
alert input
test 'hello'
but that alert never get executed at http://127.0.0.1:3000/pages,
in fact, the application.js is just empty!
here is the GemFile in case it would help:
source 'http://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '3.1.0'
# Bundle edge Rails instead:
# gem 'rails', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git'
gem 'sqlite3'

#gem 'nested_form', :git => 'git://github.com/fxposter/nested_form.git'
gem "simple_form"
gem 'kaminari'
gem 'foreigner'
gem "cocoon"
# Gems used only for assets and not required
# in production environments by default.
group :assets do
gem 'sass-rails', " ~> 3.1.0"
gem 'coffee-rails', "~> 3.1.0"
gem 'uglifier'
end
gem "jquery-rails"
gem 'coffee-script'
gem 'haml'
# Use unicorn as the web server
# gem 'unicorn'
# Deploy with Capistrano
# gem 'capistrano'
# To use debugger
# gem 'ruby-debug19', :require => 'ruby-debug'
group :test do
# Pretty printed test output
gem 'turn', :require => false
end
EDIT
I have added those gems also and installed them, but, the coffee script is not executed
gem 'therubyracer'
gem 'coffee-script-source'
gem 'json'
gem 'execjs'

First: Having "coffee-rails" in your :assets group should be enough. Older versions had "coffee-script" in the :assets group.
Second: Where are you keeping your *.js.coffee files? You need to make sure they are in an "assets" folder some place. Start with app/assets/javascripts. If they aren't in your assets folder, they won't make it into the asset pipeline.
If you are doing that already, consider starting a new project and use the default configuration. It should work without any trouble. Compare the working project against the non-working project.
If all else fails, is it possible for you to share your project with us on GitHub?

Please check your config/application.rb, you should find a section like this:
if defined?(Bundler)
# If you precompile assets before deploying to production, use this line
Bundler.require(*Rails.groups(:assets => %w(development test)))
# If you want your assets lazily compiled in production, use this line
#Bundler.require(:default, :assets, Rails.env)
end
I suspect you are not precompiling assets on deploy, even though you have it set to ignore the assets gems.

Rspec suite fails running on AWS Ubuntu with ECONNREFUSED - but each test passes individually

We are trying to migrate our rails build from a local network server to an AWS EC2 instance running Ubuntu. The test suite works fine on all the developers machines (combination of mac and ubuntu) and the old build server (linux) but refuses to pass on the amazon instance.
The symptom is:
An error occurred in an after hook
Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2)
occurred at /home/ubuntu/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p481/lib/ruby/2.0.0/net/http.rb:878:in 'initialize'
which is repeated a bunch of times. There is no error logged before this one.
However this issue only occurs when running multiple tests together (eg, bundle exec rspec) - when I run each test individually they all pass. Locally none of the dev team have seen this issue before.
Our tests use Selenium and Firefox which should run headless on ubuntu using Xvfb. We also use WebMock for some tests.
I have researched this issue for a day or two now and tried everything I can think of, to no avail. I have checked the versions of firefox and all the gems installed are the same on aws as locally.
My gemfile and spec_helper are below. I have investigated the firefox and xvfb installation, but because each test is able to pass individually I feel the system is generally ok ... but clearly something is not happy.

update
I have determined that the results are inconsistent between test runs. At first I thought it was the same each time, but the number of tests failing varies each run. I thought I had fixed the problem when all the tests passed except one, but the next run it was back to over a hundred failures.
update 2
Upon closer inspection (oops) I have discovered there were some tests failing with a different error the the majority. Instead of ECONNREFUSED, they are reporting 'End Of File Reached'. When I disabled these tests (5 in total) the remaining tests pass reliably. I suspect that xvfb is encountering some javascript or ajax related error, which is then preventing any of the following tests from passing. We are now working on diagnosing what is happening in these tests that is causing the failure.
File this one under 'not sure'. We ended up running up a new AWS server and setting it up again from scratch, and this time it worked fine. Some where suspect an issue with the javascript driver, possibly permissions related, but it is not worth our time investigating.

Why can't Padrino find my rake tasks?

I just upgraded Padrino from version 0.10.5 to 0.12.1 and now none of my Rake tasks work anymore.
A simple case I just added:
# PROJECT_ROOT/lib/tasks/example_task.rake
task :example_task do
puts "Is this working?"
end
Running rake example_task gives:
rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'example_task'
Running padrino rake example_task gives:
=> Executing Rake example_task ...
/Users/george/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.0/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rake/task_manager.rb:49:in `[]': Don't know how to build task 'example_task' (RuntimeError)
Padrino's docs say that Padrino should automatically detect any *.rake files in lib/tasks, and these worked before I upgraded Padrino. What's the problem?
My Gemfile:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
ruby '2.1.0'
gem 'rake'
gem 'unicorn'
gem 'rack_hoptoad', require: 'rack/hoptoad'
gem 'haml'
gem 'bson_ext'

gem 'mongoid', '~> 3.1.6'

end
gem 'tilt', '~> 1.4.1'
gem 'padrino', '~> 0.12.1'
gem 'padrino-cookies', '~> 0.1.2'
According to bundle show rake, I'm using rake version 10.3.1.
What am I doing wrong?
Well, that was a waste of a bounty.
I opened an issue on Github and got an answer there. I needed to make the following changes to the top of config/boot.rb... (this is taken from the output of git diff, so note that lines which start with - were removed and lines which start with + were added.)
-begin
- # Require the preresolved locked set of gems.
- require File.expand_path('../../.bundle/environment', __FILE__)
-rescue LoadError
- # Fallback on doing the resolve at runtime.
- require 'rubygems'
- require 'bundler'
- Bundler.setup
-end
-
+require 'rubygems' unless defined?(Gem)
+require 'bundler/setup'
And add these lines to my Rakefile:
+require 'bundler/setup'
+require 'padrino-core/cli/rake'
+
+PadrinoTasks.use(:database)
+PadrinoTasks.use(:mongoid)
+PadrinoTasks.init
Now my rake tasks work as normal. Yay!
Use this pattern and it will work with new version of Padrino without any core changes:
# ./lib/tasks/seed_fonts.rake
namespace :fonts do
desc "Seen the fonts into database table db.fonts"
task :seed_fonts => :environment do
# Do your thing ...
end
end

Heroku with ruby 1.9.3 causing many different crashes

I go to redeploy my heroku apps with a new gem in Gemfile and it crashes on startup
/app/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-3.2.3/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:251:in `require': libruby.so.1.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/bcrypt-ruby-3.0.1/lib/bcrypt_ext.so (LoadError)
This is happening no matter what branch I deploy (old stable ones...) and only fixes by doing a heroku rollback.
I believe this is caused by heroku recently updating their ruby 1.9.3 because I was having this issue Heroku app crashes with 'libruby.so.1.9: cannot open shared object file' . Removing the nokogiri gem stopped the exception I was getting but then there's still this. More similar errors occur when I add new gems.
The whole problem was solved by deploying to a new heroku app but that's not something I can just do on my production server.
Any ideas on fixing the issue or somehow "refreshing" my app?

Just FYI,
After contacting the Heroku support about this issue, you should follow these 3 simple steps:
Install this heroku-repo plugin: heroku plugins:install https://github.com/lstoll/heroku-repo.git
Run the following command: heroku repo:purge_cache
Deploy your app again.
Hope that helps!
This happened to me yesterday as well, was definitely something to do with Heroku.
I found fix and discussion on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bcardarella/status/256822171979100161
Just force-clear the gem file cache(clear gemfile, deploy, restore and deploy) and the app would start smoothly again.

Heroku db:migrate and faker

After heroku rake db:migrate I get the following error:
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- faker
/app/Rakefile:7
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
(in /app)*
I saw previous answers and I tried to shift require 'faker' from the first line to the line below task :populate => :environment do in my sample_data.rake file. It didn't work.
I commented faker in the gemfile (and it was present only in the dev environment) and I executed a bundle install. It didn't work.
I'm really scared about the fact that I can't use faker with heroku. Could you please help me?
Is faker part of your production gems (outside of any groups) in your Gemfile?
Heroku does not install test or development gems by default.
So, you could, for example, simply change
source 'http://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '3.0.7'
gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :require => 'sqlite3'
gem 'mysql'
group :development do
gem 'faker'
end
to
source 'http://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '3.0.7'
gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :require => 'sqlite3'
gem 'mysql'
gem 'faker'
Alternatively...
You can instruct Heroku to install development gems by changing the Heroku environment variable BUNDLE_WITHOUT, which lists groups to exclude.
The default is:
heroku config:set BUNDLE_WITHOUT="development:test"
so you might use something like:
heroku config:set BUNDLE_WITHOUT="test"
However, if your application requires the use of faker in its production environment, you should probably just include the gem in the default Gemfile group.
you may also
group :development do
gem 'faker', :require=>false
end
(or)
put the require 'faker' line of you rake file to be inside the task
