By default a new Rails application will load all javascript/coffeescript files under the app/assets/javascripts directory and all subdirectories. Look for the following line in your application.js manifest file: //= require_tree . That does what it sounds like it would. It loads all javascripts in the entire subtree. This might be fine for very simple application, or for getting started, but probably not what you want in a more complex application.
