I've created Rails 4.2 project and tried to use Backbone for frontend. But when I try to use JST for template, I've got the below error.
Uncaught ReferenceError: JST is not defined
Of course, I included the correspond require sets in application.js file as below.
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require underscore
//= require hamlcoffee
//= require backbone
//= require backbone.marionette
//
//= require_tree ../templates/
//= require ./myapp
//= require ./models
//= require ./views
//= require ./controllers
//
//= require_tree .
And the file that I've used JST is as below.
Backbone.Marionette.Renderer.render = (template, data) ->
console.log "rendering template #{template}"
if (!JST[template])
throw "Template '#{template}' not found!"
JST[template](data)
Here is my gemfile.

As you can see, I am trying to use Rails 4.2 for Backbone combination. So, I hope to know whether Rails 4.2 does not support Backbone JST file, or if I need what to make JST active.
Please help me!
Finally, I've got the cause of the JST undefined error. It's because the JST file path (in my case, path = JST["backbone/apps/" + template] ) goes to wrong.
