Can't get flatpickr to work in production/staging environment. about rails_stimulus_flatpickr HOT 3 CLOSED

Turbolinks shouldn’t be an issue with Stimulus

Do you see your console log ‘entering picker’

I am not very familiar with Capistrano, I deploy mostly with Heroku. If you take this app and try to deploy it with Cap does it work?

One thing that I remember from a rare deploy with Cap does your server has node installed? Webpacker require node to build the assets. Or do you build them locally before deploying?

Yes I see the 'entering picker', never the 'got a picker' in production. The server does have node, but I ruled out Capistrono.

I ran the app on my laptop in production with

RAILS_ENV=production bin/rails assets:precompile
RAILS_SERVE_STATIC_FILES=true bin/rails s -e production

Same problem. I created a new issue on webpacker and referenced flatpickr. It's one of the two and pretty sure it's webpacker, but have no idea what it could be.

Thanks for responding

Just a little update.

I could not get stimulus-flatpicker to work consitantly in deploying to a staging server so I added a comment to a web packer issue rails/webpacker#2552 (comment)

I don't see anything in your documentation mentions anything about how flatpickr css get added to the assets.complile action or that you have to add a stylesheet_pack_tag. I fixed it, but don't know why it would work in one application and not another.

Whoops, I forgot that stimulus_flatpicker is used in other applications, not just rails so you would not necessarily add rails specific documentation
