Using JQuery Server side datatables in ruby app and pagination shows blank page after 1st page

Question

I am using Jquery Server side datatables and am not able to get the pagination to work on pages 2+.

I have 200 records. The first page shows 50. When I click the pagination numbers at the bottom of the page it navigates to page 2, but page 2 is empty.

I am using non-serverside datatables in the same app (but another table) and it works fine.

In addition pagination, the select menu that chooses #of records to display per page is not working and column sorting is not working.

Search is working

I'm using: "1.12.4" Rails 5 DataTables 1.10.16

index.json.jbuilder

json.draw params[:draw]
json.recordsTotal @cooks.length
json.recordsFiltered @cooks.length
json.data do
  json.array! @paginated do |cook|
    json.DT_RowClass "js-cook-row js-cook-row-#{donor.id}"
    if browser.device.mobile?
      json.partial! 'cooks/mobile_data', cook: cook, project: @project
    else
      json.partial! 'cooks/desktop_data', cook: cook, project: @project
    end
  end
end

Page with table (slim)
