Rails4: Bootsy WYSIWYG editor not displaying

Question

I just migrated from Paperclip to CarrierWave and can't get the Bootsy WYSIWYG editor to display. My form (and its text field, which is now <%= f.bootsy_area :text, rows: 12 %>) looks exactly like it did before I installed Bootsy. Any ideas as to how I can make the editor display instead of the old textarea alone? Thanks.

Steps I've taken already:

1. followed Bootsy instructions on Github
2. compared all pages of bootsy demo app code to mine
3. read relevant Bootsy known issues
4. restarted server
5. ran bundle update bootsy and restarted server
6. removed fontawesome from application.scss
7. read this and this and this SO question

Answer 1

I had similar problem. I solved it by moving //=require tree. higher than //=require bootsy . I can not explain why and how but worked for me.

application.js

`//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery.turbolinks
//= require turbolinks
//= require_tree .
//= require bootsy`
