uninitialized constant ActionView::CompiledTemplates::BootstrapPagination

Question

I have installed the will_paginate-bootstrap gem to use bootstrap style pagination. I have this in my view:

    <%= will_paginate @mylist, renderer: BootstrapPagination::Rails %> 

but it returns this error

    uninitialized constant ActionView::CompiledTemplates::BootstrapPagination

Answer 1

If you have successfully bundle all the gems then it should work like this.

<%= will_paginate @mylist, :renderer => BootstrapPagination::Rails %>

Please make sure you have restarted the server after installing the gem.

Answer 2

If you use gem will_paginate-bootstrap with rails 4.0 or later, you must have it available on all stages. See Rails Upgrade Guide 3.2 to 4.0. Before Rails 4.0 this was fine, to have it only in assets.

This is right for rails 3.X or earlier:

gem 'will_paginate-bootstrap', group: :assets

It must be outside of any groups (on rails 4.0 and later):

gem 'will_paginate-bootstrap'
