Cannot find module 'is-property'

help
1

Hello

I’m newbie to meteor and i try to create my first app, but i’m getting this error "Error: Cannot find module ‘is-property’"
I get this error after comand meteor add-platform android

Commands:

meteor create simple-todos
cd simple-todos
meteor npm install
meteor

(until here all working well)

meteor add-platform android (then i get error)

I tried meteor npm install is-property and i can see the folder is-property \node_modules\is-property
i try to install it globally meteor npm install -g is-property and meteor npm install --save is-property but the problem still here.

I’m using Windows 10 and Meteor 1.3.4.1

Go to “%LOCALAPPDATA%\.meteor\packages\meteor-tool\1.3.4_1\mt-os.windows.x86_32\dev_bundle\lib\node_modules\cordova-lib\node_modules\npm\node_modules\request\node_modules\har-validator\node_modules\is-my-json-valid\node_modules\generate-object-property”

and “npm install is-property”

The is a confirmed bug - being tracked here:

when I’m trying do it I had an error 'The filename or extension is too long.'
hah… windows… ntfs…

Your solution worked great! Only downside is I had to do 3 cds because the path was too long for command prompt to make it in one go. Once I was in the folder and ran npm install is-property, everything worked :slight_smile:

Thanks man. This worked for me.

8

pheuxx…it helped. At last!!

An easier workaround for Windows as discussed here is:

npm install is-property -g

This avoids the manual installation in the above long and version specific Windows path.
Backdraw is, you will have it installed globally. So it is depending on your needs regarding other installations.

Didn’t work to me trying to install that globally

This worked perfectly, thank you! (Slight difference in path: …\meteor-tool\1.5.1…)
