rake assets:precompile failed in rails 3.2.8 on Windows 8

When bundle exec rake assets:precompile in our rails 3.2.8 app, it failed with the errors:

** Execute tmp:cache:clear
** Execute assets:precompile:primary
rake aborted!

  (in c:/D/code/rails_proj/biz-tools/app/assets/javascripts/application.js)
c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/execjs-1.4.0/lib/execjs/external_runtime.rb:142:in `exec_runtime'
c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/execjs-1.4.0/lib/execjs/external_runtime.rb:28:in `block in exec'

...........

c:/Ruby193/bin/rake:23:in `<main>'
Tasks: TOP => assets:precompile:primary
rake aborted!
Command failed with status (1): [c:/Ruby193/bin/ruby.exe c:/Ruby193/bin/rak...]
c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rake-0.9.2.2/lib/rake/file_utils.rb:53:in `block in create_shell_runner'
c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rake-0.9.2.2/lib/rake/file_utils.rb:45:in `call'

There are only two datapicker in application.js and they are working fine when firing up the app. What could cause this failure? Thanks.

The problem is that execjs does not work on windows 8. Here is a post about how to fix execjs runtimes for windows 8. But this fix seems not working for assets:precompile. We may have to wait for update of execjs for windows 8.

I would recommend trying the rubyracer gem instead of execjs from past experience.

Alternatively, try commenting out jquery-rails or jquery-ui-rails gems from your Gemfile to see if these are causing you problems. You can always put jquery and jquery-ui directly into your assets.
