jquery ui doesn't work with rails 4

Use jQuery UI with rails 4.2.3. And it doesn't work for me.

Use gem "jquery-ui-rails".

Try to make a simple draggable element like this https://jqueryui.com/draggable/#default

But I can't move my div element. 

<div id = "draggable" class="ui-widget-content">
  <p>Element</p>
</div>

my apllication.js 

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery-ui
//= require twitter/bootstrap
//= require turbolinks
//= require_tree .

$("#draggable").draggable();

apllication.css

*= require jquery-ui
*= require_tree .
*= require_self
 */

#draggable{width:110px;height:100px; padding:0.5em; border:1px solid #ddd; background-color:#eee}

Test in Firefox and Chrome.

I tried to precompile assets, cleaned up all old gems. And tried to manually plug in layout(when i made it I delete jquery lines in application.js )

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>

Browser doesn't show any mistakes. All jquery-ui files I can see in assets/jquery-ui when use Development tools in browser.

Help. Where is my mistake?

The problem most probably is that you try to run the code before the DOM is completely loaded and thus it can't even find the $("#draggable"). Change the

$("#draggable").draggable();

to

$(function() {
  $("#draggable").draggable();
});

which will load for DOM to get fully loaded before calling draggable.
