If you are using Webpacker (Rails 5-6)

• Delete this line from Gemfile and run bundle:

• Delete this line from application pack file app/javascript/packs/application.js:

  require("turbolinks").start()

• Remove any data-turbolinks data attributes from your html.

Change:

<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>
<%= javascript_pack_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>

to

<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all' %>
<%= javascript_pack_tag 'application' %>
