Hi All,
Just upgraded to 2.7.1 and I can’t run my app anymore …

I’m getting error message below…

Seems all of my symlinks in /node_modules/.bin are broken. Any ideas?

Thanks
Greg

It happens to me from time to time as well, even on older Meteor versions (e.g., 2.4.1). In my case these are never the ones I actually need, thus removing them does the job for me. Here’s a oneliner:

find node_modules/.bin -xtype l -delete

I excused find node_modules/.bin -xtype l -delete on my terminal and it saids find: -xtype: unknown primary or operator.

Does anybody experience this?
