I’ve created a very plain vanilla Rails app. I’m at the stage where I need some Stimulus controllers, and I can’t make them initialize no matter what. Even the hello_controller doesn’t load. I’m creating a very simple controller using the generator. Despite reading that I don’t need to run the updat…

It would be tough. There are some API keys and other things in it that I’m trying to not have to revoke/remake. If you think that’s the way I can look into. I realize it’s like flying blind without it, though.

Can you create a separate basic hello-world with Rails 7.1.3 that illustrates the problem?

Nick, I’m not sure if this is helpful, but I can confirm that I’m on Rails 7.1.3 and I’ve had no trouble with Stimulus. I’m also using importmap-rails and tailwindcss-rails to as to avoid requiring node. Stimulus just worked for me, right out of the box, with this standard setup. And I found the do…

Yep same for me. In the end I had to ditch importmaps and move to esbuild and it worked straight away. See this video: https://youtu.be/Aw03k1X4zjA?si=GwCWxka_vVMl5-46

And this: [image] Stimulus setup with importmaps So after watching this video I decided to move away from import maps to esbuild. It only worked when I added an esbuild.config.mjs with the following js: const path = require('path') const rails = require('esbuild-rails'…

Sounds like you are hard-coding API keys in your app: any reason why you are doing this? Re: reproducible app - where is the github link? The problem could be as simple as mis-specifying the data-controller (or mis-spelling it) or some such slight issue. Someone will surely be able to point you in…
