I found a similar problem on stack overflow. In your app/views/layouts/application.html.erb around line 5 or 6, change application to default

<%= stylesheet_link_tag    'default', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'default', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>

If that doesn't work, change your coffeescript gem in routes.rb to this:

gem 'coffee-script-source', '1.8.0'

and then bundle to install the gem.

Thanks for answering this, I was having a similar problem and changing 'application' to 'default ' fixed the bug. Awesome!

Thanks a lot it was able to help

You are 'gem'. Thanks moving application to default worked.
