Couldn't find file 'jquery-ui'

Question

I am getting the following error even if I have jquery-ui in my application.js file

couldn\'t find file \'jquery-ui\' (in /home/jeff/work/projects/a/media/app/asse

Answer 1

The rails 4 answer:

add to gemfile.rb:

gem 'jquery-ui-rails'

add to application.js:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery-ui
//= require jquery_ujs

to add a specific module:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery-ui/yourmodulename
//= require jquery_ujs

I'm not sure if restarting your server is explicitly required but it never hurts anything.
