Answer

In your /app/views/layouts/application.html.erb lines 5 and 6, change the first parameter from application to default.

I met the same problem, too for my situation, I don't know why, but it only happens on Windows. The parameter application works on the web server.

Question 2

Starting a new app, when I create a controller page home and try to go to local host:3000/pages/home, I get the following error:

Showing c:/Users/Doesha/desktop/pinplug/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #6 raised:

TypeError: Object doesn't support this property or method
  (in c:/RailsInstaller/Ruby2.1.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/turbolinks-2.5.3/lib/assets/javascripts/turbolinks.js.coffee)

application.html.erb file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Pinplug</title>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag    'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
  <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>
<body>

<%= yield %>

</body>
</html>

application_controller.rb file:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  # Prevent CSRF attacks by raising an exception.
  # For APIs, you may want to use :null_session instead.
  protect_from_forgery with: :exception
end

pages_controller.rb file:

class PagesController < ApplicationController
  def home
  end
end

routes.rb file:

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

  # The priority is based upon order of creation: first created -> highest priority.
  # See how all your routes lay out with "rake routes".

  # You can have the root of your site routed with "root"
  # root 'welcome#index'

  # Example of regular route:
  #   get 'products/:id' => 'catalog#view'

  # Example of named route that can be invoked with purchase_url(id: product.id)
  #   get 'products/:id/purchase' => 'catalog#purchase', as: :purchase

  # Example resource route (maps HTTP verbs to controller actions automatically):
  #   resources :products

  # Example resource route with options:
  #   resources :products do
  #     member do
  #       get 'short'
  #       post 'toggle'
  #     end
  #
  #     collection do
  #       get 'sold'
  #     end
  #   end

  # Example resource route with sub-resources:
  #   resources :products do
  #     resources :comments, :sales
  #     resource :seller
  #   end

  # Example resource route with more complex sub-resources:
  #   resources :products do
  #     resources :comments
  #     resources :sales do
  #       get 'recent', on: :collection
  #     end
  #   end

  # Example resource route with concerns:
  #   concern :toggleable do
  #     post 'toggle'
  #   end
  #   resources :posts, concerns: :toggleable
  #   resources :photos, concerns: :toggleable

  # Example resource route within a namespace:
  #   namespace :admin do
  #     # Directs /admin/products/* to Admin::ProductsController
  #     # (app/controllers/admin/products_controller.rb)
  #     resources :products
  #   end
end

I also downgraded the turbolinks gem from 2.3.0 to 2.2.2, thinking that the newer version of the turbolinks gem was causing my app to have errors; obviously that didn't work for me.

Any suggestions on what could be going wrong with my app?
