I want to use rails-jquery-autoplete gem for my rails application. However I got this error:

couldn't find file 'jquery-ui/autoplete' with type 'application/javascript'

My jquery-rails version is 4.3.1 and jquery-ui-rails version is 6.0.1.

application.js

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery-ui/autoplete
//= require autoplete-rails
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
//= require moment
//= require bootstrap-datetimepicker
//= require jquery.payment 
//= require credit_card                                                                                                             
//= require map
//= require owl.carousel.min
//= require carousel
//= require react
//= require react_ujs
//= require ponents

application.scss

*= require_self                                                                                                                    
*= require jquery-ui

Thank you in advance!

If You have install jquery-ui-rails gem. Remove rails-jquery-autoplete gem from your project.Just add this line:

 //= require jquery-ui/widgets/autoplete

Restart your server after adding a gem or a library.

I made a temporary fix. My error message plained about jquery-ui/widgets/autoplete.

In my system, the autoplete.js file is at ...gems/jquery-ui-rails-5.0.5/app/assets/javascripts/jquery-ui. When in that directory, I said

mkdir widgets
cd widgets
ln -s ../autoplete.js autoplete.js 

I could not test if autoplete actually works now, but at least the error message went away.
