# Bundle edge Rails instead:
# gem 'rails', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git'

gem 'pg'
gem 'devise'
gem "will_paginate"
gem 'ruby-debug19'
gem 'rack', '1.3.3'
gem 'jquery-rails'

What to do ?

Answer 1

If you'd like to use jQuery instead of RJS for an existing application, delete or comment the following line from config/environments/development.rb

# config.action_view.debug_rjs = true

Answer 2

RJS has been abstracted out of Rails 3.1 and JQuery is the new default.

http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2011/4/21/jquery-new-default

If you would like to use RJS, you need to include

gem 'prototype-rails'

in your Gemfile

Answer 3

You may want to add them to your app/assets/javascripts/application.js:

//= require prototype
//= require prototype_ujs
//= require effects
//= require dragdrop
//= require controls
