I'm experimenting with adding Turbo to a Rails 6.1 app.
It seems to be loading (see "What I've tried"), but when clicking around the clicks does not seem to be intercepted. I'm still getting full page reloads.
Can anyone help me spot what is missing here?
What I've tried
- Added an event handler with console.log() output that shows that the
turbo:loadis indeed getting triggered - Ensured
Turbo.session.drive = trueinapplication.js - Even tried adding
data-turbo="true"to a<main>tag, but that seems to have made no difference. Perhaps not too surprising, given pt. 2. - Firefox and Chrome
Setup
// app/javascript/application.js
import { Turbo } from "@hotwired/turbo-rails"
Turbo.session.drive = true
# config/importmap.rb
pin 'application', preload: true
pin '@hotwired/turbo-rails', to: 'turbo.js'
// Debugging statement
document.addEventListener('turbo:load', function() {
console.log('turbo:load');
})
So I found out that the mere inclusion of the Google Analytics 4 script tag in
<head>caused Turbo not to work:The reason? GA4's automatic outbound link click tracking, which we have enabled. There's a very recent Github issue about this. As mentioned in a comment:
I disabled this feature in GA4, and was good to go.
