Error in jQuery document ready handler in Rails 4

[nickurban]

This worked fine in Rails 3.2. I'm updating to Rails 4 and experiencing an error in my document ready handlers. If I remove jquery.turbolinks from my application.js, the error goes away.

behavior.js is a file with a declaration like this:

jQuery(function($) {
  $('form').submit(function(){
  ...
  });
});

On page load, I get the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: object is not a function behavior.js?body=1:2
(anonymous function) behavior.js?body=1:2
jQuery.event.dispatch jquery.js?body=1:5096

I downgraded to 1.0 and it's working again, so this seems like a 2.0 problem.

Oh man, seems like jQuery(function($) { .. }) isn't working anymore as part of the move to use jQuery's own triggering mechanism for 2.0.

Just issued a fix. See if this helps—it should now work as expected.

For now, you'll need to upgrade to the latest unreleased version to try it out.

gem 'jquery-turbolinks', github: 'kossnocorp/jquery.turbolinks'

$ bundle update jquery-turbolinks

Thanks, that seems to work.

@kossnocorp I've bumped to v2.0.1 (and even drafted a release in /releases) — feel free to rake release whenever :)

@rstacruz thanks!

Done.

That didn't work for me, still have the same issue.
