Deploying meteorJS 1.2 using Meteor-Up fails

1

This application is Meteor-1.2.2. Hope Meteor-up is compatible with it. I have been trying to deploy to a production server using Mup - Meteor Up but it keeps failing. I have been on this for about 3 days. The seup do pass successfully but the deployment failed at the compiling stage. what do I do?

  servers: {
    one: {

    }
  },

Is there a reason you haven’t tried updating to a newer version of Meteor, instead of using a version which is over two years old? :slight_smile:

Meteor 1.2 came with Node v0.10.40, which is not supported by Node.js anymore, and aside from being much slower than newer Node.js versions, is likely full of security concerns!

It’s likely easier to update your Meteor version than it is to try and get Mup to deploy that old version.

Thanks @abernix just afraid it’ll break many things since the verison is very far apart. 1.2 - 1.6, many things will have become highly imcompatible.

4

If you’re making an assumption about the difficulty, I’d suggest giving it a try by following the migration guides. If you’re trying to close the gap in that wide range, you can go to Meteor 1.4.4.4 and still be on Node.js 4 which is still at least under (maintenance) LTS (long-term support). :slight_smile:

Realistically, the biggest changes are 1.2 to 1.3, and those are very well documented in the 1.3 migration guide. If you can get through those, you can likely make it all the way to 1.6 without much effort.

Thank you very much @abernix . I have kickstarted the update. i hope to find it easy as expressed. Thank a bunch.

@abernix, thanks for the direction. After following the procedures to update from one version to the other I ended up with this error. I’m not familiar with it so intepreting what it means is vague to me. Please am I to do right? Thanks.

The snippet you’ve included above shows that npm is trying to compile the binary dependencies necessary for fourseven:scss, but the lack of msbuild.exe is causing the compilation to fail. Npm manages its binary compilation through node-gyp, which requires things like Microsoft Visual Studio, or the C++ Tools in order to function properly. It sounds like your Windows development environment is missing the ability to compile the Node native addons which would be provided by these tools.

You should be able to fix this by ensuring that your computer has the necessary requirements, as listed on node-gyp's setup instructions. It may be possible to just run the following from an elevated privilege/admin PowerShell:

meteor npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

…But personally, I’ve always used the C++ Build Tools with the Default Install option.
