application.js file showing up as application.html.erb when sent to client

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21441739

Question

After running a cap deploy, I'm getting an error when navigating to my site on the client:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<' application-[hash here].js line 1

When I look at the file "application.js" on the client, it simply shows me a rendered version of my application.html.erb. The first line of that file is naturally <!DOCTYPE html> so it makes sense that it would get that error at line 1. But why would html be getting sent over in place of my javascript? I ran this same deploy several times earlier today and it worked fine.

I understand there are all sorts of variables here that could be causing this issue, but I guess what I'm looking for are just thoughts on what could possibly be causing the issue.

Any thoughts?

Was it helpful?

Solution

If anyone who happens to run into this error in the future, it turned out that the issue I was having was actually with my nginx.conf file. Had nothing to do with rails.
