paper_trail | Track changes to your rails models | Database library

I am more of a Java programmer and still somewhat new to development (2 years or so, can write Java code & web apps just fine) however the company I work for has 4 Rails applications and was asked to get this application working called CtrlPanel. I have been having to learn Ruby on Rails in order to help get this issue with this app fixed and get it working.

I have been working on this problem for over a week all day long every day and nothing I do is fixing it.

I fixed everything to the point the app comes up, web server runs serves the pages but all views are white screens as long as this application.html.haml file is present. I re-wrote the file with very basic bootstrap and it sort of works but nothing looks right. The problem seems to stem from 1 single like that simply says: = javascript_include_tag "application"

I have been all over the internet and have tried every single fix from changing coffee-script-source to v1.8.0 as I read Windows has an issue with newer rails and that file, I have tried every variation of changing it from application to default, and every type of ending you can think of no matter what I do it gives me this error message which I can not seem to find.

I am not even sure WHAT that line does, I assume it has to do with the new Google Maps API and I verified the key is valid and it was working before.

This is the error is it giving it says the line with "= javascript_include_tag" "application" giving error ExecJS::RuntimeError at / SyntaxError: [stdin]:1:1: unexpected //=

I am running a PC on Windows 10 20H2 x64 UEFI ruby 2.7.2p137 (2020-10-01 revision 5445e04352) [x64-mingw32] Rails 6.1.3

(I did also install Ubuntu on another machine and it gives the exact same error, also gives the same error on another Windows machine)

The app is working IF I delete the "application.html.haml" file and put in a skeleton basic version all of the other views start working but of course none of them look right no menus no bootstrap no nothing.
Here is the application.html.haml file.

I have the following gems in my gem file

Getting an error trying to load a page. Rails 6, Ruby 2.7.1. Webpacker for javascript and SCSS From the Terminal (similar to the Chrome Console error )

Rails admin not show any record. Even there is 102 record persist.

Even not listed in dashboard

But i can see one ad

My Ad model

Let's say I have an active record model class "Post" that might or might not have paper_trail.

How can I programmatically find out if it is paper_trail enabled?

I tried things like:

I picked up a 4 year old project written in Ruby 2.1.3 and Rails 4.1.8.

Very few of the gems were versioned but I've managed to get the project running locally by installing mysql2 0.3.20 as suggested in multiple other threads. Doing this required me to (on MacOS) downgrade openssl and mysql with brew install mysql@57 and brew install openssl@10.

I could then install mysql2 with by passing the correct libraries to it: gem install mysql2 -v 0.3.20 -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/opt/mysql@5.7/bin/mysql_config --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.0/lib --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.0/include

Everything works locally, all good.

I'm trying to deploy this project with Dokku on a Debian instance. Here's the readout from the push to dokku master including the error thrown when starting the Rails server:
