Problem

You would like to upgrade your jquery-ui-rails gem from a version before 0.5.x to the latest version 0.5.0, but when you do that your tests are failing with error messages similar to the one below:

ActionView::Template::Error: 
couldn't find file 'jquery.ui.effect-blind'

Solution

According to the changelog the naming between 4.2.1 and 0.5.0 has changed jquery-ui-rails

So if you were using something like the following in your app/assets/javascripts/applications.js file (as used in the depot example in the Agile Web Development with Rails 4 book):

//= require jquery.ui.effect-blind

you would need to change it to the following after upgrading your jquery-ui-rails gem to ~> 0.5.0:

//= require jquery-ui/effect-blind
