3,130 PointsRails Tutorial: coffeescript not being recognized.
I am doing the Rails Tutorial "Treebook". I am at the part where we are adding coffeescript in the statuses.js.coffee file. I am adding the following like it is telling me to do:
$ ->
$('.status').hover (event) ->
console.log("hover triggered")
and when I hover over in my browser it is not acknowledging it at all. I am using Sublime Text 2 as well and the colors of my text in the texteditor are not changing when they should be like functions, etc. Any advice on what I should do to fix this problem?
Thanks.

8,671 PointsI got an error on this part too, and it was due to the fact that I had not added the "hover" class properly to the span containing the "Edit" and "Delete" links in the index.html.erb file.
<span class="admin hover">
Once I fixed that, I was back on track.

3,130 PointsWow it was as easy a simple indention error.
I had:
$ -> $('.status').hover (event) -> $(this).toggleClass('hover')
When it needed to be:
$ -> $('.status').hover (event) -> $(this).toggleClass('hover') (<---this line is indented)
Thanks for the help!!

3,130 PointsIt's getting no errors or anything. Its like its not even recognizing the file. I followed along with the tutorial exactly so I'm not sure why it wouldn't load. I'm not quite sure. Any thoughts?
