Rails 4 asset pipeline not linking to css
<p>Okay, I've been having this problem for quite a while now and I can't figure it out. I have a bare-bones app with one controller called 'home' and one action called 'index'. I am using the default layout 'application.html.erb', and in that layout I am using the following:</p>

<pre><code>    &lt;%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", media: "all", "data-turbolinks-track" =&gt; true %&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>my application.css file contains the following code below the manifest portion:</p>

<pre><code>body {
    background-color: blue;
}
</code></pre>

<p>and my index file only contains the following snippet:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;p&gt;This is my content!&lt;/p&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>When I try to access my page, I get the following error:</p>

<pre><code>JSON::ParserError in Home#index 
</code></pre>

<p>Does anyone know what is happening? </p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>

<pre><code>class HomeController &lt; ApplicationController

  def index
  end
end
</code></pre>
