I updated my meteor project to meteor 0.9.1 today. Previously I had a simple SCSS file with variables.
/*variables*/
$font: 200 20px/1.5 Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
$color: #312F47;
After the update none of the scss seems to be implemented on the page (background-color is reverted to white for instance and all the styling elements are gone). Manually converting the scss to css does work. I have tried updated the various packages to no avail. Does anyone know if this is a known bug and/or how to fix this? Would be much appreciated.
I assumed you're using mrt:scss, and according to mrt:scss package page on Atmosphere, it's currently INCOMPATIBLE WITH METEOR 0.9.0 OR LATER.
You need to replace mrt:scss with fourseven:scss which is the same package compatible with Meteor 0.9.0 or later with a new name, since 0.9.0 is using Meteor packaging system and mrt is deprecated.

I'm hardly trying to get my existing ng2-prototype running in a meteor1.3 setup. So far i was building the prototype with webpack, and there is a provide plugin to make things like jQuery or Tether available during module building:
plugins: [
new ProvidePlugin({
$: "jquery",
jQuery: "jquery",
"window.jQuery": "jquery",
"window.Tether": "tether"
})
]
As you can see, i did the same with "tether", since it's still the lib needed by bootstrap 4 alpha.
Now i'm wondering how i could achieve the same in my meteor1.3 project..? As written in the changelogs of the package "angular2-meteor", it is using webpack under the hood now to build everything.
angular2-meteor changelog
So, it should be possible to use the same provide plugin again in meteor1.3, right? But... how?
From the github issue threads of "angular2-meteor":
there are multiple ways: you could install https://atmospherejs.com/coursierprive/tether, or,
since Meteor 1.3 prefers NPM now, you could install Tether NPM and require it before you use bootstrap 4, or, if you want more control and modularity, you could create own local package (in the packages folder) with all dependencies (added from NPMs) you need including Tether (similar to the way angular2-runtime done in this repo).
i will try this out and i'm already sure this will do the trick :) many thx #barbatus ;)
Update:
Ok i'm going with the npm package solution, i had tether installed already. If you don't have it, do this first:
npm install --save tether
Now, the single require statement won't be enough.. bootstrap 4 which i'm trying to include completely is asking for a window.Tether function. So i ended up doing this:
let Tether = require('tether');
window.Tether = Tether;
// import all bootstrap javascript plugins
require('bootstrap');
Cool is, there is also a typings definition file for it now, just add it by running:
typings install --save --ambient tether
After adding it to the window global context, the errors are gone... but ok, the solution trough the webpack provide plugin feels still cleaner -> it will provide the Tether object for each module separately during build, so it won't end up living in the window global context after all. But i'm just lucky to have it running now :)
PS: jQuery is provided anyways by meteor, that's the reason it is already enough to get it running by just including tether alone.
Update: yeah jQuery is included by default - but it is just a package in your /.meteor/packages file ;)
I am new to meteor, I was trying to use file upload using
tomitrescak/meteor-uploads
I successfully uploaded some file, but when I tried to delete the uploaded file, I got error in my terminal Reference Error:check is not defined
I have checked the documentation and searched the web regarding this error but could not find any solution for this.
Note: I got similar error while studing http://meteortips.com/second-meteor-tutorial/iron-router-part-1/
OS: Ubuntu 14.04
meteor: 1.2.1
TL;DR
$ meteor add check
Longer version
In Meteor version prior to v1.2, a core package called meteor-platform used to export some symbols, including check.
Since v1.2, this is no longer the case and those symbols are no longer available via the platform, but using dedicated packages instead.
It is likely that one of the packages that you are using (or your app code itself) is using check (probably in one of its methods) without declaring it as a dependency.
Until the package maintainers update the dependency, you should be able to overcome the error by adding check as a top-level dependency:
$ meteor add check
If you identify which package is causing the issue, you can report it on GitHub, or fork the package yourself, add the missing dependencies and submit a pull-request.
Im trying to use the official semantic-ui meteor package. I followed all the step to generate the folders but I got this error:
While building the application:
client\lib\semantic-ui\theme.import.less:23:10: Less compiler error:
expected ')' got 'o'
I checked the file and Its this line:
#import (optional) "#{themesFolder}/#{site}/globals/site.variables";
Im not sure what is the problem but I think is something related to the (optinal).
How can i fix this ?
You should try removing the official Meteor less package and adding the less-autofixer Meteor package.
meteor add flemay:less-autoprefixer
This is a necessary prerequisite to the official semantic ui package.
I'm developing a Meteor app that isn't yet in production, so I can afford to move quickly when adopting new package versions (useraccounts had a significant version bump a few hours after I'd integrated it, for instance.) This was what I thought meteor update was meant to accomplish. Yet when I run:
meteor update
from my project, I'm told that packages were updated but .meteor/versions remains unchanged.
I can upgrade the package by running meteor add someone:package#whatever, but this just shuffles the version dependency from .meteor/versions to .meteor/packages even though it seems to do the upgrade. I'm happy to lock versions down when I go to production, but it seems like in development I should be able to use the update command, especially as meteor list indicates that as a next step.
I've managed to upgrade all my packages by removing .meteor/versions and .meteor/local and running meteor update, but this seems messy.
I also found this issue but it was closed. Should it be reopened or should I open a new issue? I understand how semver works, but I think the issue is that Meteor isn't writing its constraint solver results to .meteor/versions so doesn't realize that package updates have been applied. Is that accurate or am I just misunderstanding something?
now u can simply do
meteor update --all-packages
Expanding on previous answers, you can update all packages with this:
grep -ve '^#' .meteor/packages | xargs meteor update
For the time being it looks like that you have 2 options for packages which have updates you wish to use:
remove and add the package of concern via meteor remove provider:package_name and meteor add provider:package_name
update packages with their specific version manually via meteor add provider:package_name#X.X.X
Meteor won't update packages unless you remove and add them #2500
You can also use meteor update provider:package_name
Easiest way is to delete the contents of .meteor/versions and then save. Next time you run meteor it will update all packages to the latest version.
Just tiny addition to #Meteorpoly answer:
You can also edit package version in .meteor/versions file manually and meteor will pick it up on next/current run
From Meteor docs: meteor update --packages-only
This command will update all the packages which are not built locally, has an update available and is also compatible with the meteor version you are using.
It seems that now
meteor update
is enough to update all packages
lets assume you wish to keep your meteor at your current release then issue
meteor --release foo update --all-packages
where foo indicates your current meteor release ... you can identify your release by looking at file
cat .meteor/release
which for me has content of
METEOR#1.10.2
so my current meteor release is 1.10.2 ... to leave alone my current meteor release yet upgrade all packages to match my release 1.10.2 then command is
meteor --release 1.10.2 update --all-packages
alternatively if you wish to fully upgrade to both latest meteor release AND that release's package upgrades then issue
meteor update --all-packages
I used packagecheck. It analyzed the project, showed me available updates and assisted the general update.
$ npm install -g packagecheck
$ packagecheck
How do I find out what is holding my app up from updating? I keep getting the 'This project is at the latest release which is compatible with your current package constraints.' message.
Here is the output from the update command:
Refreshing package metadata. This may take a moment.
Figuring out the best package versions to use. This may take a moment.
Figuring out the best package versions to use. This may take a moment.
Figuring out the best package versions to use. This may take a moment.
This project is at the latest release which is compatible with your
current package constraints.
My packages.js looks like so:
# Meteor packages used by this project, one per line.
#
# 'meteor add' and 'meteor remove' will edit this file for you,
# but you can also edit it by hand.

I have migrated all the ch-* and dash-* packages to the new format. Those are local, in app, packages. Those cannot be in public repositories.
Try replacing
cmather:iron-router#0.8.2
with
iron:router#0.9.1
in your packages file.
I'm think it may be because not all your packages are compatible with Meteor 0.9.0
If you want to check what packages are currently compatible enter this code:
meteor search (Package Name)
By default meteor will only return compatible packages, so you can find which packages aren't working by searching each one. If you can't find the package, then its probably not compatible and you aren't going to be able to run the latest version of Meteor unless you remove it.
Don't worry though! While Meteor 0.9.0 is quite buggy, they are working hard to update all the packages and patch the bugs. Just give it a few weeks to sort itself out if that doesn't work :)
Best Of Luck! Hope This Helped!
Meteor search is included in the latest release. Docs: http://docs.meteor.com/#meteorsearch
Try running this command and you should be able to access meteor search
meteor update
Also, the update should tell you if there's a package update available, although I had to run update (packagename) on each starred package for it to update
meteor update aldeed:collection2
I found that I had to remove my ~/.npm directory and run meteor again to resolve some npm dependencies I had. Perhaps you have some npm dependencies as well?
