为什么gem`therubyracer`默认在Gemfile中注释掉了?

我创建了一个rails应用程序,并尝试启动rails服务器。 我收到了以下错误:

/home/ritesh/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/gems/execjs-2.0.1/lib/execjs/runtimes.rb:51:in `autodetect': Could not find a JavaScript runtime.

虽然我能够通过删除行gem 'therubyracer', platforms: :ruby之前的注释来修复它gem 'therubyracer', platforms: :ruby来自Gemfile gem 'therubyracer', platforms: :ruby

当我们在启动rails应用程序时首先需要它时,为什么这个gem被注释掉了?

因为如果在机器上安装了另一个JavaScript运行时(如Node.js),Rails可以使用它,并且不需要therubyracer。

Rails使用ExecJS加载JavaScript运行时。 有关ExecJS的更多信息,请参阅其Github页面: https : //github.com/sstephenson/execjs 。 自述文件提供了可用运行时列表(作为错误日志说明)。

根据您的部署过程和生产环境,您使用哪个JavaScript运行时可能并不重要。 有些人对therubyracer库的大小有疑问(请参阅Rails – 找不到JavaScript运行时? ),在生产服务器上安装它可能并不聪明。
