Vue.js VueRouter router-link changes URL but page does not - vue.js

Question

my main.js file has the following
import TurbolinksAdapter from 'vue-turbolinks';
import Vue from 'vue/dist/vue.esm';
import VueRouter from 'vue-router';
import EventIndex from '../src/views/EventsIndex.vue';
import EventsTable from '../src/components/EventsTable.vue'
import { routes } from '../src/router/routes';
Vue.use(TurbolinksAdapter);
Vue.use(VueRouter);
const router = new VueRouter({
routes,
mode: 'history'
});
document.addEventListener('turbolinks:load', () => {
var element = document.getElementById('vue_code');
if (element != null) {
new Vue({
el: '#vue_code',
Store,
router,
render: h => h(EventIndex)
});
My routes.js file has the following:
import Vue from "vue/dist/vue.esm";
import VueRouter from "vue-router";
import EventForm from "../components/EventForm";
Vue.use(VueRouter);
const routes = [
{
path: "/events/new",
name: "EventForm",
component: EventForm
}
];
The router-link snippet from my component file EventsTable.vue file has the following:
<template lang=haml>
...
%tbody
%tr{v-for: "event in events"}
%td
%router-link.fa.fa-pencil{to: "/events/new"}
%router-view
...
<template>
<script>
import EventForm from './EventForm';
components: {
EventForm
}
</script>
When I click on the link, i expect the page to change to the EventForm page. Instead, the url changes, but the browser window does not change. But once I reload the page, the browser jumps to the EventForm page.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The first line of the vue-turbolinks package states:
⚠️ If you're using vue-router or another Javascript routing library, you don't need to use Turbolinks or this adapter. Turbolinks is meant to level up the traditional request-render cycle by loading the new page in the background and this adapter makes it possible to use Vue components on pages rendered in this manner. If you've decided to use a single-page app, you already have everything you need. 🤘
You cannot use vue-router and Turbolinks together. Turbolinks handles all of your site navigation. Navigating using vue-router doesn't work because it is attempting to do a history push instead of an entire page load.
I suggest programmatically routing using the Turbolinks.visit() function instead of using vue-router. You'll need to create a new view for the EventForm page that loads your vue component.
