jQuery AutoComplete with remote data is getting the wrong url

I am trying to get jQuery-autocomplete working with a remote data source in a Ruby on Rails project. The input is on http://localhost:3000/file_analysis/new, when I type some terms in the input it requests http://localhost:3000/file_analysis/new?query=some_terms while it should request http://localhost:3000/diagnoses/types?term=some_terms. Does anyone know why this happens?

My javascript code:

$('#element_id').autocomplete({
    source : "/diagnoses/types"
});

I have read a lot of questions about this, but most of them are outdated (2009-2011) and also provide different answers that do not work for me. Also the demos from the official site are not really clear to me.

As @CornéM suggests, this problem can occur when you have an older version of jQuery UI. The answer is a simple update :-)
