Doesn't work with multiple visits

[maks112v]

On Rails 7 using turbo tinymce doesn't load after a route is visited more than one time in a single user session. It renders a large text area instead of tinymce

For anyone looking my current solution was to add data: { turbo: 'false' } to all links going to screen containing tinymce.

What version of tinymce?

There's a nice write-up here of how to avoid having to add data: { turbo: false } here: https://dev.to/djchadderton/making-tinymce-work-with-rails-turbolinks-and-stimulus-2ooa

...but I couldn't get it to work 100% of the time

Just noticed the same issue while trying to integrate tinymce into avo admin panel which uses Turbo. Is it possible to fix on the gem side?

I have this problem. The issue is that the variable tinymce doesn't survive between the turbo reloads

if I initialize tiny inside or outside of the turbo:load listener I get the same effect, first interaction only works, subsequent interactions do not work:

my code is as follows:

    <script>
      TinyMCERails.configuration.default = {
        selector: "textarea.tinymce",
        cache_suffix: "?v=6.7.0",
        menubar: "insert view format table tools",
        toolbar: ["bold italic | link | undo redo | forecolor backcolor | bullist numlist outdent indent | table | uploadimage | code"],
        plugins: "table,fullscreen,image,code,searchreplace,wordcount,visualblocks,visualchars,link,charmap,directionality,nonbreaking,media,advlist,autolink,lists",
        images_upload_url: "/uploader/image"
      };
      document.addEventListener('turbo:load', function() {
        console.log("connecting tiny... the tinymce object is", tinymce)
        TinyMCERails.initialize('default', {
          selector: 'textarea.tinymce',
          convert_urls: true,
          uploadimage: true
        });
      });
      document.addEventListener('turbo:submit-end', function() {
        tinymce.remove(); // Remove existing TinyMCE instances
        tinymce.init({
          selector: 'textarea.tinymce',
          // Other TinyMCE configuration options
        });
      });
    </script>

I also tried with this listener on the turbo load but it's the same effect

        tinymce.init({
          selector: 'textarea.tinymce', // Add the appropriate selector for your textareas
          // Other TinyMCE configuration options
        });

I think the problem comes from the tinymce variable not surviving between turbo interactions.

opened new issue https://github.com/spohlenz/tinymce-rails/issues/308 I have a fix over there.

after examining more closely, I can see that much of the TinyMCE Javascript code is written for Turbolinks, not Turbo. I'd recommend that this gem stay as-is and a new gem be built to replace it for Turbo, which can then address all of these turbo issues more holistically.
