I am new to Ruby on Rails, and I have been following Mackenzie Child's tutorial on how to make a Forum app using Devise, Haml, and Simple_Form. I'm using Aptana Studio 3 as an IDE on Windows 10 O.S. I'm using Ruby 2.2.0 and Rails version 4.2.5.1.
I'm having two issues:
1) I am unable to destroy a post after creating it (as Mackenzie illustrates at around time = 17:30).
After a Google search I discovered this is because I removed the JavaScript and StyleSheet scrips from application.html.erb. I removed these lines of code because I was unable to view any Rails app on a local server. This leads me to my second problem
2) I put the lines of code back into the application.html.erb folder and I am back to being unable to view my app on my local network, and receive error code listed below.
Again, a Google search found that coffee-script-source, 1.10.0 doesn't work well with windows, and that is why I received the error. I was suggested to rollback to 1.8.0. However, I am unable to rollback to an earlier version. I tried typing the correct version of CoffeeScript into my GemFile, and tried gem install 'coffee-script-source', '1.8.0', but my computer refuses to update to it. Instead I receive this error in the Terminal.
>You have requested: coffee-script-source = 1.8.0
>The bundle currently has coffee-script-source locked at 1.10.0.
>Try running 'bundle update coffee-script-source'
>If you are updating multiple gems in your Gemfile at once,
>try passing them all to 'bundle update'"*
Anyway, this is where Google has stopped being helpful. I would appreciate if anybody could help me with this issue!

Your gems are versioned when they install. So once upon a time you may not have specified the version of coffee-script-source and bundler went out and installed the latest version of 1.10.0. Now you are trying to tell it to install a different version and it's mad because it already has a version installed.
Now that you have specified the version of =1.8.0 in your Gemfile you can run bundle update coffee-script-source and it should get you the proper version and lock that in your Gemfile.lock to remember that is the version you want.
