I am having trouble deleting a micropost. Everything worked well until section 11.3.4. I have posted my problem on Stack Overflow . I also found another user who had similar problems but his solution didn't work for me . I'm running rails on a Windows PC -- this problem might be Windows specific -- and had trouble in the beginning using the `rails server` command. I was beckoned with an error stating "Could not find a JavaScript runtime." So, in order to overcome this obstacle I commented out the sass-rails, coffee-rails, and uglifier gems and then it worked. However, now I find myself running the same exact code you provide here on Github but the delete function still doesn't work. I'm struggling to find a solution and would love for someone to throw me a lifeline. I'm sure others will come across this problem in the future and it'd be nice to document how to work around this issue. I'd love any insight or guidance from you. Also, thanks a bunch for producing such a intricate and in-depth tutorial!
