//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
// require turbolinks
//= require_tree .

in your layouts: -

<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>

after the above changes restart your server.
