Creating your first app with Angular - Errors prevented startup

help

Hi,

I’ve just started using meteor with Angular and I’m trying to figure out the basic concepts.

I started with this tutorial https://www.meteor.com/tutorials/angular/creating-an-app. And when I entered “meteor” into command line I get the error below:

Started MongoDB.
Errors prevented startup:

Your application has errors. Waiting for file change.

I am using Win 8.1 OS. Do you have an advice for me?

Cheers, andre.

Hi !
I’m also starting with meteor.js and did the same as andrac for the exact same result. The only difference is that I’m using Windows 7.
Any idea?

Thanks, Sechiro.

Perhaps new Meteor 1.3 issue?

Hey, I just fresh installed Meteor on 2 different computers and ran into this issue on both as well.
One was Windows 8, one was Windows 7

I got the same issue while I’m using Windows 8, meteor version is 1.2.1.

I’m currently having this exact same issue. Just downloaded a few minutes ago on Windows 8.1. Meteor says it’s 1.3

7

Found this: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/6609

This worked for me as a temporary workaround to 1.3

meteor create --release 1.2.1 test-app
cd test-app
meteor

Thanks. Will try this out and report back. Cheers.

I tried this and it works. I guess the problem was 1.3 release. Thank you.

@ras1 : I tried this… but now I am facing below error

events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled ‘error’ event
^
Error: spawn ENOENT
at errnoException (child_process.js:1011:11)
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:802:34)

Also having this issue. I uninstalled/reinstalled Meteor on W10 and not my projects won’t run.

It’s not an Angular issue. It is a Windows issue with 1.3. My Windows 10 machine is dead in the water and can’t create apps while my Linux Mint machines work perfectly and didn’t have any trouble with 1.3.

Same issue here, trying to do the react branch of todo app example. Win 7. Trying to do meteor update for 1.2.1 inside project doesn’t work, gives countless errors about npm constraints not being satisfied.
