jquery-rails no longer has jquery-ui as part of its assets. You should use gem 'jquery-ui-rails' for that.

Furthermore, to find out where an asset is coming form in rails you can do the following:

paths = Rails.application.config.assets.paths
for path in paths do
  puts "Found in: #{path}" if Dir.glob("#{path}/*").grep(/jquery-ui/).present?
end

This should make it easy to find the asset.
