rails-jquery-autocomplete Uncaught TypeError

I'm trying to use the rails-jquery-autocomplete gem but can't seem to get it working.

At first I thought it was the order that I was requiring it in the application.js but based on other posts on SO, I don't think this is the case. Here is that code anyway:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require autocomplete-rails
// require turbolinks
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
//= require bootstrap
//= require ckeditor/init
//= require social-share-button
//= require questions
// require_tree .

The error I am getting for it at the moment is:

Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function autocomplete-rails-81b10cb822d78b60a1415bace9e9714b.js?body=1:1

jQuery.each.handler

Any ideas why it's not recognising it? Thanks

first, have you run rails generate autocomplete:install in your project root?

Also you should include autocomplete-rails after jquery-ui which seems to be missing.

javascripts/application.js

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery-ui
//= require autocomplete-rails
....

If that does not help put this in the head of your application.haml/html:

layouts/application.html
....
javascript_include_tag "autocomplete-rails.js"
....

The Doc is quite clear on what you have to do, to get up and running. Good luck
