[Ruby on Rails DataTable guide][1]https://github.com/phronos/rails_datatables/blob/master/README.md
I"m following the above and have installed the git plugin as well. All i'm getting is the <%= datatable() % returning " <script type="text/javascript"> $(function() { $('#expenses').dataTable({ "oLanguage": { "sSearch": "Search", "sProcessing": 'Processing' }, "sPaginationType": "full_numbers", "iDisplayLength": 25, "bProcessing": true, "bServerSide": false, "bLengthChange": false, "bStateSave": true, "bFilter": true, "bAutoWidth": true, 'aaSorting': [[0, 'desc']], "aoColumns": [ { 'sType': 'html', 'bSortable':true, 'bSearchable':true ,'sClass':'first' },{ 'sType': 'html', 'bSortable':true, 'bSearchable':true },{ 'sType': 'html', 'bSortable':true, 'bSearchable':true },{ 'sType': 'string', 'bSortable':true, 'bSearchable':true ,'sClass':'last' } ], "fnServerData": function ( sSource, aoData, fnCallback ) { aoData.push( ); $.getJSON( sSource, aoData, function (json) { fnCallback(json); } ); } }); }); </script>".
My .html.erb looks like this:
