Babel compiler error after upgrading to meteor 1.6.1.1

help
1

Hi,

We were running on meteor 1.5.1 so upgraded to 1.6.1.1. The update had problem with uglify but we fixed that creating a local package & changing the babel version constraint.

After that the update was completed. When I start server I see errors related to ecmascript package as below:

=> Started proxy.
=> Errors prevented startup:

   While processing files with ecmascript (for target web.browser):

   Property arguments[0] of CallExpression expected node to be of a type ["Expression","SpreadElement","JSXNamespacedName"] but
   instead got "JSXIdentifier"

Can someone please help or point us to a solution?

The error we are facing is somewhat similar to this.

Thanks

Have you updated babel as per the upgrade instructions?

@robfallows thank you for helping.
I had not updated babel. So updated babel to the latest version using:

meteor npm install @babel/runtime@latest

I also had some babel plugins being used, of which transform-react-inline-elements was shown in the error logs. So updated my .babelrc for it like below referring this article:

@babel/plugin-transform-react-inline-elements

After this, startup was clean. Working further on runtime errors :grinning:

Thanks again.
