Question

I’m using Rails 3.1 and I keep getting an error when trying to use any jQuery extension.

kintouch.js.coffee

jQuery ->
  $('.best_in_place').best_in_place()

index.html.haml

  = best_in_place contacts[0].label, :name, :display_as => :header_short, 
      :inner_class => "span2"

application.js

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery.purr
//= require best_in_place
//= require_tree .

kintouch.js error

  (function() {

      jQuery(function() {
        return $('.best_in_place').best_in_place();
    Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'best_in_place'
      });

    }).call(this);

However if I hard link to the javascript extension like this:

%script{:src => "https://raw.github.com/bernat/best_in_place/master/lib/assets/javascripts/best_in_place.js", :type => "text/javascript"} 

Everything seems to work.

My script files rendered:

Thanks!

jQuery was being loaded twice and thus over riding bootstrap.
