I am having trouble with getting best_in_place fully functional. The problem is that once I edit a field, in order to be able to click on and edit that field again I need to refresh the page. I may be wrong, but I have a feeling this has something to do with respond_with_bip throwing an undefined method error. I think this has something to do with not putting the best_in_place assets in the right places. Currently I have the following which works to update 'constant'. But again it's throwing an error when it hits respond_with_bip:

Show:

<%= best_in_place constant, :description %>

Update action of controller:

def update
  @constant = Constant.find(params[:id])

  respond_to do |format|
    if @constant.update_attributes(params[:constant])
      format.html { 
        flash[:success] = "Constant Updated"
        redirect_to settings_path
      }
      format.json { 
        respond_with_bip(@constant) 
      }
    else
      format.html { 
        flash[:error] = "Constant Update Failed"
        @title = "Constants"
        @constant = Constant.new
        @partial_path = "settings/constants"
        redirect_to settings_path
      }
      format.json { respond_with_bip(@constant) }
    end
  end
end

In terms of the folder from best_in_place's github page, I put the entire lib/best_in_place folder in my app's app/assets folder. The javascript files are in app/assets/javascripts (These are working so not worried about it). And I put the lib/assets/best_in_place.rb file in the config/initializers folder.

What am I doing wrong?

This might help, https://github.com/bernat/best_in_place/issues/220. From what I was seeing there it looks like it is getting a blank and that is throwing the error your getting. If you don't need to use it you could always use: 

redirect_to @constant
