Okay so time after time we’ve all seen question about Rake assets:precompile error. I’ve tried multiple methods, I looked at the following SO question Ruby on Rails Rake assets:precompile error and tried multiple methods of even doing the following: config.assets.compile = true and then running rake assets:precompile --trace RAILS_ENV=production. However I noticed that when I tried to do the following:

rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production I got the following error:

rake aborted!
CScript Error: Execution of the Windows Script Host failed. (0x800A0007)

C:\Users\home\Desktop>cd MIUK_Portal

C:\Users\home\Desktop\MIUK_Portal>rake assets:precompile

Has anyone encountered this issue? How do you overcome this?

Update

Okay apparently from looking at the error it clearly is stating that

:\Users\home\AppData\Local\Temp\execjs20121221-5484-1atk9yx.js(2, 3)
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Out of memory

So I’m now wondering how to resolve this? Any ideas? Further to this I noticed that someone did encounter the similar issue: CS Script issue but this was unresolved:

So I am asking if anyone out there has had the same issue.

    I was able to solve this issue by transferring the project into a Linux environment (Ubuntu) and running the bundle exec rake assets:precompile. It appeared to work, I believe this sort of issue is something to do with windows. If starting any kind of development to do with RoR stick to Linux.
