Rails javascript only works after reload

For turbolinks 5.0 you must use the turbolinks:load event, which is called the first time on page load and every time on a turbolink visit. More info: https://github.com/turbolinks/turbolinks#running-javascript-when-a-page-loads

CoffeeScript code:

$(document).on 'turbolinks:load', ->  my_func()

JavaScript code:

document.addEventListener("turbolinks:load", function() {  my_func();})

This was a turbolinks problem. Thanks to @zwippie for leading me in the right direction!The solution was to wrap my coffeescript in this:

ready = ->// functions$(document).ready(ready)$(document).on('page:load', ready)

I guess this is a turbolinks issue.

Either remove turbolinks from your project or modify your script to something like:

$(function() {  initPage();});$(window).bind('page:change', function() {  initPage();});function initPage() {  // Page ready code...}

As mentioned here.
