Bigass problems upgrading from 1.4 to 1.7

help
1

Hi guys,

my current project is on 1.4.1 and my current problem is that it does NOT work on internet explorer. (Internet-Explorer does NOT seem to understand ES6 like () => {})

So I tought: Upgrade to latest meteor and get the latest babel, which might fix the issue.

HOWEVER: I am running into big problems.

I’ll now give you some details on what I did and also post the packages I use (see below).

I’d be really thankful for some tips on how to proceed… Any ideas?

This is what I did:

meteor update
meteor npm install --save-exact @babel/runtime@7.0.0-beta.55
meteor npm install --save @vimeo/player browser-cookies

When running meteor I see this error (related to peerlibrary:blazecomponents):

=> Started proxy.                             
=> Started MongoDB.

I tried FORCING it a bit further by allowing INCOMPATIBLE updates…

… but I had NO luck and see the same error-message when running meteor afterwards.

Details:

meteor update --all-packages --allow-incompatible-update

gives me

Any ideas what to do?

Seems like this package needs to be updated to the latest Meteor version.
