rack-pjax not working, no errors - ruby-on-rails

I tried to get rack-pjax working on my rails app according to this railscast, but I have noticed no change, nor any errors. Here are the pertinent files:
gemfile:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '3.2.13'
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '2.1'
gem 'simple_form'
gem 'rspec'
gem 'pg'

gem 'rack-pjax'
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'fancybox-rails'
group :development, :test do
gem 'sqlite3'
end
group :assets do
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 3.2.3'
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 3.2.1'
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.0.3'
end
config/application.rb:
require File.expand_path('../boot', __FILE__)
require 'rails/all'
if defined?(Bundler)
Bundler.require(*Rails.groups(:assets => %w(development test)))
end
module Prestongunderson

config.middleware.use Rack::Pjax
config.encoding = "utf-8"
config.filter_parameters += [:password]

end
end
app/assets/javascripts/application.js:

//= require jquery.pjax
//= require_tree .
app/assets/javascripts/static_pages.js.coffee:

<%= render 'layouts/google_analytics' %>
</body>
</html>
app/views/layouts/_header.html.erb
<header>
...
<ul>
<% ["Home", "Bio", "Gallery", "Music", "Tour", "Videos", "Contact"].each do |page| %>
<li><%= link_to( page.upcase, #title == page ? "#" : "/#{page.downcase}", class: "local-nav") %></li>
<% end %>
...
</ul>
...
</header>
Is it possible for me to have conflicting code somewhere? Are there some other dependencies I'm missing?
Edit
This is supposed to use Ajax to load only the data in the div with the data-pjax-container on a link request. Instead, it loads the entire page. I test this by playing a song in the media player I have in a side bar, rendered in layout _soundcloud.html.erb, outside of the yeild. When clicking a link set up with pjax, it should only update the single div, but it loads a whole new page, and stops the music.

The jquery-pjax API that you use seems to be outdated now. According to the docs, this line
$('a.local-nav').pjax('[data-pjax-container]')
should be
$(document).pjax('a.local-nav', '[data-pjax-container]')
Btw, you should use a.local-nav selector instead of .local-nav a if you set local-nav class to the link.

I have similar experience though using pjax-rails, but the reason should be the same on JS side.
A very possible reason is it takes a bit long for your development server to response. Pjax can't wait so long by default, so it falls back to normal HTTP request.
The solution is to add time out option on JS
$('.local-nav a').pjax('[data-pjax-container]', {timeout: 2000})

pjax breaks when redirect involved in request cycle. Check it aswel.

Installing Bootstrap 4 for Ruby on Rails on windows 10

Receiving an error (ExecJS::ProgramError in Pages#home) when I run rails server and load my page after I install bootstrap 4 ruby gem.
Completely new to Ruby on rails and largely programming so bear with me. I'm running through the One month rails tutorial (https://onemonth.com/courses/rails/curriculum) and hitting a sticking point at the installing bootstrap 4 point. I'm using windows 10 vs Mac OS for the tutorial.
I've tried running through the same directions for installing bootstrap 4 as the course uses (https://www.diycode.cc/projects/twbs/bootstrap-rubygem) as well as the latest directions (https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-rubygem). I get the same error either way, but my latest attempt runs through the steps below.
Steps
Add bootstrap to your Gemfile:
gem 'bootstrap', '~> 4.2.1'
bundle install
Import Bootstrap styles in app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss:
// Custom bootstrap variables must be set or imported *before* bootstrap.
#import "bootstrap";
renamed application.css to application.scss in app/assets/stylesheets/
add the jquery-rails gem to your Gemfile:
gem 'jquery-rails'
bundle install
Add Bootstrap dependencies and Bootstrap to your application.js:
//= require jquery3
//= require popper
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
I've also tried removing
gem 'duktape'
from my gemfile as has been suggested elsewhere but had no luck.

Adding Google Analytics to Rails 4.2 app

I've got a Rails 4.2 app that I've deployed with Heroku and I've tried to add Google Analytics to it. However, Google Analytics isn't picking up any sessions.
Any suggestions why and how to resolve this?
CODE
/app/layouts/_footer.html.erb:
<% if Rails.env.production? %>
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X', 'herokuapp.com');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
<% end %>
/app/layouts/application.html.erb:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

The way you are adding your script is the wrong way, since it will not work due to Turbolinks, you know the code you have in your _footer won't be running as expected since that piece of markup won't reload because of Turbolinks.
I will give you my custom implementation of google analytics for all my rails apps.
In your app/assets/javascripts create a new file called google_analytics.js.coffee and add the following script:
class #GoogleAnalytics
#load: ->
# Google Analytics depends on a global _gaq array. window is the global scope.
window._gaq = []
window._gaq.push ["_setAccount", GoogleAnalytics.analyticsId()]
# Create a script element and insert it in the DOM
ga = document.createElement("script")
ga.type = "text/javascript"
ga.async = true
ga.src = ((if "https:" is document.location.protocol then "https://ssl" else "http://www")) + ".google-analytics.com/ga.js"
firstScript = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]
firstScript.parentNode.insertBefore ga, firstScript
# If Turbolinks is supported, set up a callback to track pageviews on page:change.
# If it isn't supported, just track the pageview now.
if typeof Turbolinks isnt 'undefined' and Turbolinks.supported
document.addEventListener "page:change", (->
GoogleAnalytics.trackPageview()
), true
else
GoogleAnalytics.trackPageview()
#trackPageview: (url) ->
unless GoogleAnalytics.isLocalRequest()
if url
window._gaq.push ["_trackPageview", url]
else
window._gaq.push ["_trackPageview"]
window._gaq.push ["_trackPageLoadTime"]
#isLocalRequest: ->
GoogleAnalytics.documentDomainIncludes "local"
#documentDomainIncludes: (str) ->
document.domain.indexOf(str) isnt -1
#analyticsId: ->
# your google analytics ID(s) here...
'UA-xxxxxxxx-x'
GoogleAnalytics.load()
As you can see it adds support for Turbolinks, this is a clean and better way to add Google analytics to your app. Hope it works for you.

best_in_place gem, view not displaying updated edit without page reload

I added the best_in_place gem to my project and the update does NOT take effect until a page reload has happened. I can see it flash in my show view but it requires a page reload. Why is this?
My Lists controller:
respond_to :html, :xml, :js
def update
#list = List.find(params[:id])
#list.update_attributes(params[:list])
respond_with(#list, :location => list_url(#list))
end
My Lists show view-
<h2 class="page-header"><%= best_in_place #list, :name %></h2>
<h2 class="lead"><%= best_in_place #list, :description %></h2>
My gemfile-
group :assets do
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 3.2.3'
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 3.2.1'
gem 'best_in_place'
# See https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs#readme for more supported runtimes
# gem 'therubyracer', :platforms => :ruby
gem 'jquery-ui-rails'
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.0.3'
end
My application js manifest -
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery.ui.datepicker
//= require justgage
//= require raphael.min
//= require jquery.purr
//= require best_in_place
//= require_tree .
My lists coffee-
jQuery ->
$('#task_due_date').datepicker
dateFormat: 'mm/dd/yy'
jQuery ->
$('.best_in_place').best_in_place()
Could it be the order of my manifest js files? What am I overlooking here to get the update to take without a page reload? Thanks for your attention.
I simply forgot to add the respond_to :json at the top of my lists controller. Thanks to those that took a look.
