Answer 1

In my case, the jquery issue was due to a gem I was using. I wasn't using jquery directly, so adding app/assets/js/jquery-ui.js to my project didn't help.

Adding gem "jquery-rails", "< 3.0.0" to my gemfile fixed it, but I got an issue with turbolinks immediately after that, which is easy enough to fix...

My final gemfile:

# Temporary fix for jquery issue
gem "jquery-rails", "< 3.0.0"
gem 'turbolinks'

... easy peasy

Answer 2

Though the Pull request has been merged into AA by now, you will still have this problem if you work with the latest release of AA. I don't like to force JQuery-rails down to version 2.3.0 so here's an alternative solution to the problem: In the active_admin.js file replace

//= require active_admin/base

with

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery.ui.core
//= require jquery.ui.widget
//= require jquery.ui.datepicker
//= require active_admin/application

kudos to Fred for providing that solution here.

Answer 3

Well, there is no need to downgrade jquery-rails to 2.3.0 or specify a GitHub branch. Just use jquery-ui-rails. To workaround the file name differences:

Simply create app/assets/javascripts/jquery-ui.js

//= require jquery.ui.all

Create app/assets/stylesheets/jquery-ui.css

/*
 *= require jquery.ui.all
 */

These load the correct files to satisfy ActiveAdmin

Answer 4

Downgrading "jquery-rails" to "2.3.0" fixed this issue for me as well.

Answer 5

The "jquery-rails" gem recently removed jQuery UI.

https://github.com/rails/jquery-rails/commit/2fdcdb2633cbc6426d412c050200fc31d14b9a3b

They recommend using the jquery-ui-rails gem.

There is an active pull request (as of this writing) to add that gem as a dependency. However, the developers of ActiveAdmin have stated that they are "locking it down until we officially drop support for Rails 3.0". The version they are locked to is jquery-rails < 3.0.0.

In the meantime, just modify your Gemfile:

gem "jquery-ui-rails" Not recommended, see @Kevin's comment below

Or you can downgrade your version of jquery-rails:

gem "jquery-rails", "< 3.0.0"

Or you can pull from their Github master branch. They have applied a temporary fix.

gem "activeadmin", github: "gregbell/active_admin"

Answer 6

I know this is already solved. But I want to give one more solution to this that worked for me.

I am running Rails 4.0.8 when having this issue.

I simply remove explicit version number for jquery-rails gem jquery-ui-rails gem.

Mine looks like this essentially:

# js
gem 'jquery-ui-rails'
gem 'jquery-rails'

# rails admin
gem 'rails_admin'

Gemfile.lock kinda figured out the correct version for all three gems automatically.
