Answer 1

Above steps works fine, removed extra steps

The following steps worked for me to get jquery-ui working in Rails 6:

1) On the terminal, inside your application type:
yarn add jquery-ui-dist

2) in app/javascript/packs/application.js
require("jquery-ui-dist/jquery-ui");

3) In the application.html.erb, include the jquery-ui theme

<%= stylesheet_link_tag '//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/themes/le-frog/jquery-ui.min.css' %>

4) restart the rails server and webpack dev server.
