Status update Ruby Error

I am currently doing "Generate a Rails Application". After doing the "rake db:migrate" command and starting the server 127.0.0.1:3000/statuses brings me to an error page, rather than what is shown in the video.

Error:

ExecJS::RuntimeError in Statuses#index

Found solution in forum:

Download and install nodejs from http://nodejs.org/download/.

Add the following to the Gemfile:

gem "execjs"

Then run "bundle install" and try it again.

Strange you needed execjs . . . we're you adding something off-course? Because my application doesn't require it. (just curious)

No I tried to follow the tutorials as is yet still got the weird error. Noticed other users have gotten a similar issue though.

I had the same error, for me, the solution ended up being installing node.js then re-installing rails, hope that helps, cheers
