At first .coffee files were compiling into application.js, but now
nothing is compiled.
I set up 2 .coffee files with alerts and expected //=require_tree to
incorporate them into application.js, but that does not happen.
ran rake assets:precompile and indeed the file in public/assets
matches what I see in the browser.
Here is a list of my gems
and here is my sample app
I also tried requiring specific files like
//= require foo
and that had no effect.
interestingly if I also required a file that does not exist like
//= require bar
