Hamlbars causes an illegal nesting error

[LandonSchropp]

Here's what I've done:

1. I added Hamlbars to the Gemfile: gem 'hamlbars', '~> 2.1'. We're already using handlebars_assets.
2. I created a new file file at app/assets/javascripts/test.js.hbs.hamlbars.
3. I added this to that file: %p Testing.

When I open the project in my browser, I get the following error:

throw Error("Haml::SyntaxError: Illegal nesting: nesting within plain text is illegal.\n  (in /Users/landonschropp/Development/quve/app/assets/javascripts/test.js.hbs.hamlbars)")

I've also tried removing everything from the test file and I still get the same error.

In case there's a conflict, these are all of the asset gems we're using:

gem 'sass-rails', '~> 4.0.0'
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.0.0'
gem 'haml-rails'
gem 'handlebars_assets'
gem 'gon'
gem 'autoprefixer-rails'
gem 'roadie'
gem 'redcarpet'
gem 'hamlbars', '~> 2.1'

gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'jquery-ui-rails'
gem 'videojs_rails'
gem 'pickadate-rails', "~> 1.2.0"
gem 'datejs-rails'

I was having the same problem but renaming the file to just test.hamlbars did the trick.

@hopsor If you just do .hamlbars, how do you compile the raw Handlebars output?

Are there any news on this issue?
