All samples in the repository kendo-tutorials.code-2.0 are organized in the form:

1. Original (working) typescript skeleton is here
2. Sample with added autocomplete widget is here: after
3. Document describing how to build it is this.

Running gulp watch results with this crash report:

system.src.js:1041 GET http://localhost:9000/dist/aurelia.kendoui.bridge.js 404 (Not Found)

The dist folder is obviously missing all needed kendoUI and bridge modules:

The only change from the previously working samples are caused by KendoUI SDK being installed via npm (previously, I just ploped KendoUI SDK folder obtained elsewhere into the project.

It ought to be that I am persistently forgetting something 😢

While the previous issue where I used .plugin('aurelia.kendoui.bridge') was easily fixed (that was the only problem with it), now, I fell again in the jQuery trap, which we discussed at large in the how can KendoUI wrappers (KendoUI bridge classes that represent the KendoUI widgets) work as Aurelia components? article, which I wrote as a proof that I understand the concept of using the jQuery plugin trick, which "brings" the jQuery reference to the wrappers code in the bridge. It seems that today I do not understand this anymore.

Here is the scoop: the new npm KendoUI SDK installer used in this sample, I have added the command

λ jspm install npm:jquery@^2.2.4
     Looking up npm:jquery
     Updating registry cache...
ok   Up to date - jquery as npm:[email protected] (2.2.4)

when building this sample (see this line). To ensure that the jQuery gets loaded before Kendo (SDK and Bridge), I added this line without really understanding whether it should be before or after bluebird script tag.

The problem is stated as

bluebird.min.js:33 Error: (SystemJS) Bootstrap's JavaScript requires jQuery
	Error: Bootstrap's JavaScript requires jQuery

This error is issued by bootstrap (see below)

This means that the line did not define jQuery object as I hoped. This is also visible from the error that happens after continuing from the breakpoint in bootstrap.js

Uncaught ReferenceError: define is not defined

What am I missing?
