I've built a small site as a learning exercise and to give RoRs a go. I was pleased with the results in "dev" running against WEBrick but am having problems moving the site to "production" served via apache (so I can leave it around to look back on).
I've tried a number of small tweaks I've found but nothing seems to correct the problem - after I compile my assets JavaScript stops working - both my custom little jQuery and the built in bootstrap (drop downs) no longer works. The basic HTML is rendered correctly. I do appear to get one error in "application.js" visible in Chrome Developer tools. I feel this might be the problem but I haven't delved deep enough into the "asset pipeline" to catch it.
Can anyone spot where I might be going wrong?
Here are some details and happy to provide more if required. Would love to get this nailed down.
results of running a precompile:
$ bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production
Ignoring `ruby` directive. This is a feature added to Bundler 1.2.0 and higher. Please upgrade if you would like to use it.
/usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 /usr/local/bin/rake assets:precompile:all RAILS_ENV=production RAILS_GROUPS=assets

app/assets/javascripts/rootEffects.js (some of my random jQuery):
$(document).ready(function(){

$('.edit').tooltip({'placement':'top'});
$('.delete').tooltip({'placement':'top'});
$('.tip-info').tooltip({'placement':'top'});
$('.link-buy').tooltip({'placement':'bottom'});
$('.long-name').tooltip({'placement':'top'});
});
Was going to provide the contents of public/assets/ but not sure if this would help.
Here are the errors I'm seeing via Chrome Dev tools. I'm disregarding the second error on the console as this is Chrome related.
![console error](https://i.stack.imgur.com/pEPbT.png)
Below is the error shown if I click through from the console. I strongly feel this is related.
![JavaScript error](https://i.stack.imgur.com/scOoG.png)
From what I've read and understand - the precompile process is supposed to place all my JavaScript in a single file 'application.js' - possibly the error being thrown is stopping any of it being executed. So far, I haven't found a tweak to correct this so I'm reaching out for help.
