HI : I have been struggling with this error for a while. My app was working under Meteor 1.3 , then in 1.5 I am getting the TypeError message bellow. What am I doing wrong ?

W20170803-05:21:13.644(-7)? (STDERR) TypeError: PricePosition.find is not a function

/import/api/tasks.js
import { Mongo } from ‘meteor/mongo’;
export const Tasks = new Mongo.Collection(‘tasks’);
export const PricePosition = new Mongo.Collection(‘price_positions’);

main.js

import ‘…/imports/api/tasks.js’;
import PricePosition from '…/imports/api/tasks.js’
import Purchased from ‘…/imports/api/tasks.js’;
import FlowerBatchList from ‘…/imports/api/tasks.js’;
if (Meteor.isServer) {
Meteor.sartup(() => {
var last_run_position ;
PricePosition.find ({},function(err,price_position) {
if (price_position) {
last_run_position = 0;
}
});
Then the rest of the code…

You should be using:

import { PricePosition } from '/imports/api/tasks.js';
import { Purchased } from '/imports/api/tasks.js';
import { FlowerBatchList } from '/imports/api/tasks.js';

Note, I’ve also made the location an absolute reference (... is not valid).
