coffeescript jquery rails Uncaught type error

Question

I have a rails 3.1 app and I am making an ajax call with jquery when a user clicks a checkbox.

Everything seems to work as expected but I am getting the following error in the console

Uncaught TypeError: object is not a function
(anonymous function)application.js:9329
jQuery.event.handleapplication.js:2966
jQuery.event.add.elemData.handle.eventHandle

here is the coffeescript that I have for the page that I am loading

jQuery ->
$(".checkbox").click ->
    current_id = $(this).attr("id") ->

    obj =
        url: "/challenge/public?id=" + current_id
        success: ( data ) -> alert data.result
        error: () -> alert "error"

    $.ajax(obj) ->

I use js2coffee to help out with my js conversion from time to time. — ace

It's because of the line

current_id = $(this).attr("id") ->

which is equivalent to

current_id = $(this).attr("id")(->)

$(this).attr("id") returns a string, so that's why you get an object is not a function error. Just ditch the ->.
