it doesn't work with new version of jquery-ui

[ZPVIP]

it's works great with old version of jquery-ui

jquery-rails (4.1.1)
jquery-ui-rails (5.0.5)
//= require jquery-ui/autocomplete

but not with new version, for example it doesn't highlight the selected option

jquery-rails (4.2.2)
jquery-ui-rails (6.0.1)
//= require jquery-ui/widgets/autocomplete

I may be running into version issues too. I have an app where this gem works fine, with jquery v2.1.4, and a newer app with jquery v3.1.1 where the gem is not working at all. Anyone having it, too?
I'm also struggling to get the newer app to use an earlier version of jquery, despite specifying version of jquery-rails in Gemfile.

[phianh42]

Update: finally got the gem to work by downgrading to jquery v2.1.4 with:

//= require jquery2
(instead of //= require jquery)

But it'd be nice to be able to use the gem with jquery v3+.

I actually can't downgrade to jquery2 and I am trying to upgrade my app to Rails 5.
This is the only gem that is breaking the project tests.

Just for the record, this is the error stack:

One or more errors were raised in the Javascript code on the page. If you don't care about these errors, you can ignore them by setting js_errors: false in your Poltergeist configuration (see documentation for details).

EDIT: Not sure if mostly phantomjs or rails-jquery-autcomplete fault, but this is the gem that breaks phantomjs though

Following the above changes, and downgrading AA to 1.0.0.pre1 worked for me, to have it on ActiveAdmin in a 4.2.6 app.

[adiakritos]

I've had the same issue.

If you create a barebones app and set it up using the tutorial info - the only thing that breaks it is switching the jQuery version to 3.

How can this be fixed? What exactly is breaking when it uses jQuery 3?

The master works with jQuery 3
