TypeError: $(...).autocomplete(...).data(...) is undefined }).dat

Answer 1

Sorry this fix might be a bit late .. but for the other guys running into this problem.

just change

}).data("ui-autocomplete")._renderItem = function (ul, item) {

to

})._renderItem = function (ul, item) {

This should resolve the issue.

In some cases it will look like this

.autocomplete().data("uiAutocomplete")._renderItem =  function( ul, item ) 

Change it to

.autocomplete()._renderItem = function( ul, item )
