Here is my application.js

// This is a manifest file that'll be compiled into application.js, which will include all the files
// listed below.
//
// Any JavaScript/Coffee file within this directory, lib/assets/javascripts, or any plugin's
// vendor/assets/javascripts directory can be referenced here using a relative path.
//
// It's not advisable to add code directly here, but if you do, it'll appear at the bottom of the
// compiled file. JavaScript code in this file should be added after the last require_* statement.
//
// Read Sprockets README (https://github.com/rails/sprockets#sprockets-directives) for details
// about supported directives.
//
//= require rails-ujs
//= require jquery
//= require toastr
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
//= require turbolinks
//= require_tree  .

$(document).ready(function)(){
            $('#select_two').select2();
}

Gem file has the related gem

gem 'select2-rails'

Answer 1

I don't know what this is the solution but I have worked this manually on my application after following those steps

On Gemfile

gem "select2-rails"
# bundle install

application.js

//= require select2

Just above this //= require_tree . line

application.js

(function($){
   "use strict";
    $(document).on('ready', function(){
        $("#order_place_id").select2({
            allowClear: true,
            theme: "bootstrap"
        });
    });
}(jQuery));

application.css

*= require select2
*= require select2-bootstrap

HTML Code

<div class="form-group">
    <label>Place Order</label>
    <select name="order[order_placed][][itemname]" id="order_place_id" class="form-control">
        <% Stock.all.each do |stock| %>
            <option value="<%= stock.item_name %>">
                <%= stock.item_name %>
            </option>
        <% end %>
    </select>
</div>

and finally, see the below image which I implemented

If you try this solution make sure restart your server after finished steps.

Hope to help
