I have tried given documentation for the select2-rails gem, but my browser console still throws an error.
Uncaught TypeError: $(…).select2 is not a function
I am using rails 4.0.1
& select2-rails 3.5.9.3
My application.js
//= require jquery
//= require select2
//= require jquery.ui.accordion
//= require jquery.ui.menu
//= require jquery.ui.datepicker
//= require common
//= require posts
//= require twitter/bootstrap
//= require owl.carousel
//= require turbolinks
//= require vendor_js
//= require_tree .
$(document).ready(function() {
$("select#team_select").select2();
});
application.css
*= require select2
*= require_self
*= require jquery.ui.accordion
*= require jquery.ui.menu
*= require jquery.ui.datepicker
*= require common
*= require owl.carousel
*= require lazybox
*= require fancybox
*= require owl.theme
*= require 7531339
*= require_tree .
*= require font-awesome
_form.html.erb
<%= f.select(:team_id, @teams.collect {|p| [p.name, p.id]}, {include_blank: "None"}, {id: "team_select"}) %>
What i am doing wrong here? Any help is appreciated.

The problem is surely in application.js: According to their Demo App, the sequence of requiring JS plugins is as follows:
In your case, you have to load
turbolinks
beforeselect2
, leading to:I had the same problem and changing the order of JS plugins didn’t help.
I ended up removing turbolinks and it’s working now. Probably not the best solution but it was the best thing that I achieve after some hours searching.
So, basicly I removed that line from application.js file:
I never encountered this issue while using rails 4.1.5 & select2-rails 3.5.9.3.
However, after upgrading rails to 4.2.4, I get the same exact error described in this question:
I was able to resolve the error by removing the “select2-rails” gem from my Gemfile and replacing it with:
On rails 5 using CoffeeScript and turbolinks I had to use the line:
$(document).on "turbolinks:load", ->
before everything so that the code gets executed when the desired page with the select tag is loaded.
