NameError: uninitialized constant Typescript::Rails::Compiler (While attempting to precompile Rails 4.2 assets)

[ghost]

Hello,

This worked fine in Rails 4.2 and Ruby 2.1.4, but now I'm using Rails 4.2 and Ruby 2.2.0.

Any help on this problem is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Hello @atteeela,
Could you find out more details? I tried to compile my own assets in my projects with ruby 2.2.0 and it was done without any error. But I would like to re-produce this error to know what is a source of your issue.

This issue is caused by the nodejs dependency on the latest version of Ubuntu/Debian. This is because nodejs executable is now called /usr/bin/nodejs rather than /usr/bin/node and this gem is only looking for node executable in the PATH rather than nodejs as well. You can fix this by sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
