couldn't find file 'best_in_place.purr'

Question

I am using the best_in_place gem and according to the instructions, in order to implement the elegant error handling using jquery.purr, all I have to do is add this to my application.js:

//= require best_in_place.purr

I did that, but I keep getting this error (after having restarted the server multiple times):

couldn't find file 'best_in_place.purr'
  (in myapp/app/assets/javascripts/application.js:19)

This is what my application.js looks like:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery.ui.all
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require twitter/bootstrap
//= require turbolinks
//= require best_in_place
//= require best_in_place.purr
//= require_tree .

Thoughts?

For what it's worth, I had best_in_place working before trying to add .purr. So I even removed it from my Gemfile, ran bundle then put it back and re-ran bundle - but still no dice.

harleyttd has answered on the Github repo.

He said:

i think it's because you use the gem release version (via gem 'best_in_place') which doesnt include best_in_place.purr yet. try gem 'best_in_place', github: 'bernat/best_in_place' instead.

another way is to copy best_in_place.purr from the repo over to a best_in_place.custom in your app and customize it to your own needs. it will allow you to easily debug if things aren't showing up as expected as well

Which actually worked for me.
