My links in Rails 6 Are Redirecting to 2020 when clicked for the first time, and runs correctly when reloaded

Question

My routes.rbThe result from http://localhost:3000/contacts when clicked for the first time:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  devise_for :admin_users, ActiveAdmin::Devise.config
  ActiveAdmin.routes(self)
  devise_for :contacts
  devise_for :homes
  resources :contacts
  resources :homes

  root 'homes#index'
end

When I 'rake routes' these are the results:

edit:

OMG, finally I found out why this happened! My application.html.erb template was copied from a bootstrap template and that contained a script-tag that wrote "2020"!

Copyright &copy;<script>document.write(new Date().getFullYear());</script>

I had the same problem but for a form. My solution was to add local: true to form_with. That's also the way rails scaffold does it:

Disable Turbolinks on forms:

<%= form_with(url: "/home/register", method: "post", local: true) do %>

Removing turbolinks from application.js didn't work for me. I think that you would also have to remove turbolinks from the Gemfile, but I didn't want to globally disable turbolinks.

Disable Turbolinks on links:

// disable turbolinks for one link
<%= link_to('Home', home_index_path, data: { turbolinks: false }) %>

// disables turbolinks for all links inside a div tag
<div data-turbolinks="false">
  <%= link_to... %>
</div>

I would recommend using browser dev-tools to inspect the ajax calls that turbolinks create (header and content of the response).

My links in Rails 6 Are Redirecting to 2020 when clicked for the first time, and runs correctly when reloaded
