Rails, javascript not loading after clicking throu

Question

I'm having some trouble loading my javascript when I use a link_to helper in rails. When I either manually enter the url with 'localhost:3000/products/new' or reload the page, the javascript loads, but when I go through a link as written below, the jQuery $(document).ready will not load on the new page.

Link_to, javascript does not load when I click this link:

<%= link_to "New Product", new_product_path %>

products.js file

$(document).ready(function() {
    alert("test");
});

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The solution that solved my issue was adding this meta property.

<meta name="turbolinks-visit-control" content="reload">

This ensures visits to a certain page will always trigger a full reload.

This was incredibly useful for working on a solution to solve the issue I was having with this, https://github.com/turbolinks/turbolinks#reloading-when-assets-change .
