Error while updating to Meteor 1.4

marczzio12 · July 26, 2016, 2:54am

Recently, Meteor has been upgraded to v1.4, well that’s great! Unfortunately for me, I cannot upgrade it and have an error log like this.

While loading package npm-bcrypt@0.8.7:

Check the guide. It might help. https://guide.meteor.com/1.4-migration.html

I’ ve got the same problem, I couldn’t upgrade Meteor to 1.4 version with the accounts-password package installed in my app. Then i removed the accounts-password package and update Meteor to 1.4 version. But when i tried to reinstall de accounts-password package this error appears:

Same problem here (and i’ve followed the guide).

I use:

win 10
node v4.4.7
npm v3.10.5

I already tried to uninstall and install node js and npm.
Do you have any solutions?
Thanks

marczzio12 · July 26, 2016, 9:57am

Well, maybe someone who already succeeded could share the experience

leg3ndz · July 26, 2016, 11:43am

Same error when i test for upgrade meteor 1.3.5.1 to 1.4.

Node version : 4.4.7
npm version : 3.10.5

Jaetoh · July 26, 2016, 11:59am

Try to update your npm version in your meteor project :

Try that command and tell me if it works please :

meteor npm install npm -g

mugnai · July 26, 2016, 12:34pm

Hi Jaetoh,

It doesn’t work for me, i still get the same error…

Longmate · July 26, 2016, 12:47pm

This error could mean it’s a file system related permission issue… Perhaps try running:

sudo meteor update

I know you shouldn’t have to use sudo really, but it’s worth testing to see if it gets you over the problem in this instance.

isibz · July 26, 2016, 2:57pm

I tried with sudo and without sudo. I create a new app and tried to add the accounts-password package and give the same error. This error only happens with the package dependency npm-bcrypt. The rest of the packages updates correctly

Longmate · July 26, 2016, 3:30pm

Are you 100% certain that you have all elements of the build toolchain installed as mentioned in the 1.4 migration guide?

isibz · July 26, 2016, 5:12pm

Ok I solved the problem changin the permissions of the .meteor folder inside my application.
sudo chown -R username:group .meteor

mugnai · July 26, 2016, 5:35pm

I tried on windows but it still doesn’t work

gado · July 26, 2016, 6:27pm

Same error in Windows. I installed msbuild

mysterymac · July 26, 2016, 6:40pm

Ok. I just got mine working on Windows 10 x64. I installed the msbuild tools like the migration guide suggested and received the same errors as above. I install Visual Studio 2015 Community and made sure to install the c++ build tools from the installer and the ‘meteor upgrade’ worked perfectly afterwords. I will see if I can get it to work with just the msbuild tools, but in the meantime install VC 2015 with the c++ build tools and I think it will work for you.

aedm · July 26, 2016, 6:57pm

Installing Visual Studio 2015 solved my update issues, too.

java99 · July 26, 2016, 7:03pm

here: “meteor npm rebuild” solved my update issues.

mysterymac · July 26, 2016, 7:05pm

@java99 - Do you already have some version of Visual Studio installed? I tried “meteor npm rebuild” and got the same errors before I install visual studio. Just curious if that worked for you without VC.

java99 · July 26, 2016, 7:07pm

yes - without visual studio
