Sorry, but this is a big one - after adding the Ajax portion of the  
Agile  
Web D. tutorial my page displays:

Application error

Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action  
(like  
in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html  
It started when I added -  
page[:current\_item].visual\_effect :highlight,  
:startcolor =\> “#88ff88” ,  
:endcolor =\> “#114411”

Since the page is not giving any specific errors , and there is nothing  
in  
500.html I’m not sure where to look. I did check the development.log  
after rebooting Webrick and see this:

C:/INSTAN~1/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2/lib/webrick\_server.rb:67:in  
`dispatch’

C:/INSTAN~1/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2  
/lib/commands/servers/webrick.rb:59

C:/INSTAN~1/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:21:in  
`require’

C:/INSTAN~1/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:147:in  
`require’

C:/INSTAN~1/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2  
/lib/commands/server.rb:30

C:/INSTAN~1/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:21:in  
`require’

C:/INSTAN~1/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:147:in  
`require’

script/server:3

Perhaps I’m missing a file / library / brain cells 🙂 .

Any guesses or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Do u include any library in your controller? Take a look at that…maybe  
the  
error had been provided from there.

Or take a look if in application.rhtml u have smth like:

\<%= javascript\_include\_tag :defaults%\>

> **[ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/AssetTagHelper.html#M000482)**
>
> This module provides methods for generating HTML that links views to assets such as images, JavaScripts, stylesheets, and feeds.

The call is made in the RJS file. There is no library referred to in the  
controller.  
I do not have an application.rhtml fille either …I’m starting to think  
that  
an error like this isn’t just from missing a js library.

Alright , I don’t know what happened but it turns out it was the same  
issue  
as earlier where I had a close “end” missing in one of my rb files.

Sorry
