After some digging the answer is that there was sort of windows bug in the CoffeeScript gem

need to inset gem 'coffee-script-source', '1.8.0' into the gemfile, and run bundle update coffee-script-source

# Place all the behaviors and hooks related to the matching controller here.
# All this logic will automatically be available in application.js.
