I have the same issue . Tried countless times to follow all sort of tutorials and installing all the boilerplate projects I found. It seem to be a problem with new 1.6 version and the integration with Angular.

The only boilerplate project that I found to be running is of Meteor ver.1.5.2.1 and Angular 4.4 :

https://github.com/susufqx/meteor-angular4-boilerplate

I have put a link to this in the angular-meteor github repository:
https://github.com/Urigo/angular-meteor/issues/1882

Try with angular2-compilers:

meteor add angular2-compilers

This package comes with Typescript support built in and is recommended in the up-to-date tutorial on https://angular-meteor.com/

coagmano, I did all of that and it didn’t work

5

Tried again a lot of combinations.
The only one I managed to work good is:

https://github.com/Urigo/angular-meteor.git => angular-meteor/examples/MeteorCLI/bare/

1.Clone the rapository
2. Copy the angular-meteor/examples/MeteorCLI/bare part to your --preffered dir-- (only this example worked)
3, cd --preffered dir–
4. meteor npm install
5. meteor

doronm,

thanks a ton!! for your effort and the post.
I tried to make an android build, with android sdk 26 and java 1.8x. did u have any luck with building mobile app?

It was very scary when the published tutorials are breaking…

Not into mobile right now. Sorry

How do I mark this as an accepted reply

hi doronm,

I cant import less/css files in the angular4 boilerplate.
I tried to import like import ‘./view.less’; tried with styleUrl (angular style…), but nothing seems to work.
Can you please share if you manage to import the styles?

thanks

Hi,
Not much of an expert bot found another boilerplate that did work well with angular5 :
Urigo/angular-meteor => angular-meteor/examples/MeteorCLI/bare/

I had the same issue.

meteor update --all-packages

worked for me.
