NameError: uninitialized constant Typescript::Rails::Compiler (While attempting to precompile Rails 4.2 assets)

Hello,

This worked fine in Rails 4.2 and Ruby 2.1.4, but now I'm using Rails 4.2 and Ruby 2.2.0.

Any help on this problem is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Hello @atteeela,
Could you find out more details? I tried to compile my own assets in my projects with ruby 2.2.0 and it was done without any error. But I would like to re-produce this error to know what is a source of your issue.

This issue is caused by the nodejs dependency on the latest version of Ubuntu/Debian. This is because nodejs executable is now called /usr/bin/nodejs rather than /usr/bin/node and this gem is only looking for node executable in the PATH rather than nodejs as well. You can fix this by sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
