So I'm facing this problem where my server does actually retrieve the correct data from the client's request, sending this data to the browser where I can clearly see that its avaible for the browser (CTRL+SHIFT+C > Network > my_request). However, the browser doesn't refresh. So I'm now seeing the previous page's data. After searching for a bit, I determined it was caused by TurboLinks which I then tried to disable as done here or here. Yet the browser still won't refresh and show up the newly fetched data. The last thing I did was grep -r turbolink * in my project directory which gave me the following:

app/views/layouts/_dashboard_menu_certified.html.erb:          <%= submit_tag("Apply", {'data-turbolinks': false}) %>

Is there something I missed ? Cheers.

• javascript
• ruby-on-rails
• turbolinks
• disable

• Please explain: do you click a link to start the action to retrieve the new data? Is it some javascript code? How does your controller code look? What are you rendering (a full page-view, a partial, how do you update part of the screen?), which rails version are you using? – nathanvda Commented Dec 12, 2019 at 14:00
• I have this <%= form_with(url: "my_controller", method: "get") do %> with a <%= submit_tag("Apply", {'data-turbolinks': false}) %>. So the submit_tag is the one that triggers the query and thus the controller that either fills an array with the corresponding data or render's a template if the query from the form wasn't valid. What I'm rendering is a partial page where the newly fetched data should be displayed. As the question says, i'm running rails 6. – HCKRMVT Commented Dec 12, 2019 at 14:20
• So if the data is valid, it fills an array, and how do you render/return this? It should still render a view to return the data. Can you show us that view? Are you using some kind of javascript framework to render the array/list client-side? – nathanvda Commented Dec 12, 2019 at 14:51
• I render it the same way as the previous page with the previous data. And yes, I'm using Morris.js to create chart out of the data. – HCKRMVT Commented Dec 12, 2019 at 15:02
• 1 Right, you say this as if I know what you mean with "the previous page with the previous data". Is that another form? Another page with another form? Have you got another page with a form_with that works? Then look for the differences? form_with is by default remote, maybe you need to add the option local: true ? – nathanvda Commented Dec 13, 2019 at 9:03

1 Answer 1

1. Remove gem 'turbolinks', '~> 5' from Gemfile
2. Remove //= require turbolinks from app/assets/javascript/application.js
3. Remove , 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' (x2) from app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
4. Run yarn remove turbolinks
5. Run rails tmp:cache:clear

Step 4 is the main difference with Rails 5.
