Context

Jupyter Lmod is a notebook server extension that allows users to interact with environment modules before launching kernels. It adds a tab that includes a search bar that uses jQuery UI autocomplete.

Issue

PR #3655 updated the jQuery version to 3.3 and left jQuery UI version to 1.10. There are compatibility issues between these two versions that manifest in jupyter-lmod. The results proposed by autocomplete appears at the top of the page instead of under the search bar.

The following figure illustrates the bug.

This is the stacktrace generated by jquery in the javascript console.

The following figure corresponds to the expected result using jQuery UI 1.12 with Jupyter notebook 5.6, or using previous version of Jupyter notebook.
correct

Proposed solution

Update jquery-ui to 1.12 in bower.json.

Disclaimer

I could not find the exact reason why jQuery UI 1.10 autocomplete does not work with jQuery 3.3. I came to the conclusion that jquery-ui had to be updated after reading the following answer on StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/a/50016548. I wish I had a better source.
