Rails 5: Sprockets :: FileNotFound - could not find jquery-ui / autocomplete file with type 'application / javascript'

Question

I just updated our Rails application from 4.2.5to5.0.1

The rails server loads fine, but when I try to load the page, I get an error:

Sprockets::FileNotFound - couldn't find file 'jquery-ui/autocomplete' with type 'application/javascript'

When I run bundle, I see

Using jquery-rails 4.2.2
Using jquery-ui-rails 6.0.1

Answer 1

It looks like the file paths have changed. According to gem readme :
