Cannot read property 'config' of undefined in accounts-ui

help
1

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to implement the accounts-ui in a mobile angular-metoer app. I have all the dependencies installed, and I’m trying to setup the Accounts.ui.config with the following code:

   import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
   import { Accounts } from 'meteor/accounts-base';

   Accounts.ui.config({
     passwordSignupFields: 'USERNAME_AND_EMAIL'
   });`

But when I try to run the app, I get the following error:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'config' of undefined
    at meteorInstall.server.auth.js (server/auth.js:4:1)
    at fileEvaluate (packages/modules-runtime/.npm/package/node_modules/install/install.js:153:1)

Any idea why I could get this error and how to fix it?

Thank!

accounts-ui is a separate package?

Yes it is, and I have it installed. You can read the docs here: http://docs.meteor.com/api/accounts.html#Accounts-ui-config

4

But I didn’t see you importing it …

5

It doesn’t need to be. The config is setup in the accounts-base. If you look at the docs, it specifically the account-base:
import { Accounts } from 'meteor/accounts-base'

6

Indeed. When I copy your code it works and I don’t see an error message.

Edit: this only works on the client docs

import { Accounts } from ‘meteor/accounts-base’;

Accounts.ui.config({
passwordSignupFields: ‘USERNAME_ONLY’,
});

I am follow the meteor tutorial example add user, but get a error.
