However, it wasn’t until I added the following @import statement to a scss file that Ionic actually worked (ie views rendered properly), which I found in one of the demo apps:
Every Meteoric project I’ve worked on required me to add the @import line in order to load the sass assets. I remember reading this on a github issue a long time ago (can’t seem to find it).
Also, if you want to use the Ionicons along with Meteoric, you have to make sure to add the second line too:
Ok, thanks for confirmation that this appears to be the right way to do it. And I also found this in the meteoric-sass package instructions:
…in your app’s .scss file:
@import ‘.meteor/local/build/programs/server/assets/packages/meteoric_ionic-sass/ionic’;
NOTE:
Due to a current limitation of the Meteor packaging system, the above path may not exist the first time you run your Meteor app after installing this package. This will cause an error saying the file to import was not found. This may also occur if you run meteor reset. Restarting your app should fix this problem. See meteor/meteor#2606 and meteor/meteor#2796 for more info.
It turns out I am not able to get ionicons to load as per these instructions. I have attempted to restart the application multiple times to no avail.
I am wondering if the problem is tied to that I am not able to update the packages to the latest version due to some apparent incompatibility with other packages.
Below is my current package list. How can I determine which packages are preventing ionic-sass and ionicons-sass from updating?

I keep getting Scss compiler error: file to import not found or unreadable: after I add all the packages and the @imports to the app.scss file…any help on that if you got it to work?
I figured out, that removing both lines ("@import") in app.scss and building the app without it, sets up the missing links. Usually destroyed by a “meteor reset”.
After this initial build re-enable both lines ("@import") in app.scss and build again.
