My javascript files are working fine in a simple Html/CSS setup; however, when I try to carry over my javascript files to my rails application they seem to be ignored.
I have 2 sets of javascript files: vendor min.js files and my own js files.
I won't show the min.js files because they are quite large files but here are their names anyways:
skel.min.js, jquery.scrollgress.min.js, jquery.min.js, jquery.dropotron.min.js
I have tried placing the main.js & util.js in the app/assets/javascript directory and min.js files in the vender javascript directory.
I have also tried adding <%= javascript_include_tag "customjsFile", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %> and //= require customejsfile to their corresponding locations, but also that didn't work.
Is there something obvious that I am not seeing?
I am runnig Rails 5.0.3.

Note my origin index.html file. I had to emulate that behavior in rails.
This is a working solution, all though I am not sure if it is the most efficient or Rails appropiate soultion.
I created a javascript file called _js-file.html.erb and included it to the bottom of my application.html.erb file <%= render 'layouts/js-file' %>
<%= javascript_include_tag('jquery.min.js') %>
<%= javascript_include_tag('jquery.dropotron.min.js') %>
<%= javascript_include_tag('jquery.scrollgress.min.js') %>
<%= javascript_include_tag('skel.min.js') %>
<%= javascript_include_tag('util.js') %>
<%= javascript_include_tag('main.js') %>
next you have to comply with the precompile assets go into your assets.rb file found in config/initializers/ folder and add your javascript files.
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( filename1.js filename2.js ...)
