Error while updating to Meteor 1.4

sotarules · July 27, 2016, 2:23am

I’m fighting through this on Windows 7 now too. I’m upgrading from Meteor 1.3.5.1 to Meteor 1.4.

I tried to install MS Build Tools per migration guide:

https://guide.meteor.com/1.4-migration.html

and received the same error as the OP:

I also tried meteor npm rebuild but no luck, same error.

I’m now installing Visual Studio Community 2015 with the C++ Build Tools as @mysterymac has suggested, I’ll post my findings here.

[About one hour later]:

It worked for me after installing Visual Studio Community 2015, I was able to build successfully. Now to see if the application works on Meteor 1.4! Cheers to all.

For me, the simplest way is to open a cmd window with administrator permission, and run npm install --global --production windows-build-tools, then, update normally.

you can refer to https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp

well I did that in linux, and still have the same error. For me it looks like that the package fourseven:scss that cannot be updated.

Hi all,

Here are some tips that may help you out:

Meteor 1.3.5.1 update failing on fourseven:scss@3.4.3

Type:Bug Severity:has-workaround Impact:some

I ran into this error and found a workaround. Thought it would be good to docum…ent for others and possibly fix to it would not be a future issue. I have a project on version 1.3.4.1. When I tried to `meteor update` to the latest (`1.3.5.1`) I got an error. As a workaround I updated `fourseven:css` independently: `meteor update fourseven:scss` This got me to version 3.8.0_1 of `fourseven:css` and then the meteor update worked fine. ### Command `meteor update` to version 1.3.5.1 (see console output) ### Environment - Windows 10 - Meteor 1.3.4.1 ### Work around `meteor update fourseven:scss` `meteor update` ### Console error output ``` E:\mroot\meris>meteor update => Errors while initializing project: While loading package fourseven:scss@3.4.3: error: Command failed: npm ERR!

I’m fighting with this problem too since yesterday.
I’ve tried everything:

I’ve installed more than 20gb of Visual studio 2015 and 2013
I’ve reinstalled npm and node (even all the other packages i’ve on this pc, like python)
I used npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
i’ve manually installed the Microsoft Build Tools 2015 and 2013
I tried meteor npm rebuild

Now, after all these steps, if try to run the update i get:

=> Errors while initializing project:

While loading package npm-bcrypt@0.8.7:
error: Command failed:

And then, i try to run “node-gyp rebuild” i get:

After this i’ve created manually a binding.gyp file without success.

I really don’t know what to do, i hope someone can fix this problem.
I need to publish this project in September…probably i’m in the worst situation you can think of

Thank you for the help!

Thank to @zhaoyao91, it worked for me on Windows 7 ! I will try tonight on Windows 10.

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

marczzio12 · July 27, 2016, 7:41am

I tried to follow @brucejo tips,
firstly I update the package fourseven:scss first from 3.4.3 to 3.8.0_1,
secondly I update the meteor version. again the error npm-bcrypt show up.

Then I tried to remove package accounts-password because I think bcrypt means encryption or something that related with password encryption haha.
After that I tried to meteor update, and it worked, my application has a version 1.4.

Unfortunately, when I try to add again the accounts-password, again it show the error npm-bcrypt. I tried to change ownership of .meteor folder in my [Myapp]/local just like @isibz did, but it not worked.

What did I missing??

anyway I’m using ORACLE Linux 6

isibz · July 27, 2016, 8:28am

I use Ubuntu 14.04. Check this:

basic compiler toolchain: Pyrthon 2.7, GNU Make , C compiler for example GCC
Change ownership of the .meteor folder in the application
3.Change ownership of the .meteor folder in the personal folder

It worked for me

deme · July 27, 2016, 8:29am

For the ones with the error including:

gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, rmdir ‘build’

This seems to be permission related as mentioned already by Longmate.
I noticed it on a Linux system where Meteor was installed as root (sudoed).

However sudo meteor update does trigger the error still. I think the permission rights are not properly propagated by the command.

Only way I could fix it is by changing the owner of the .meteor install directory from root to another user.

sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.meteor

After this the update to 1.4 would work.

pavelpetrov · July 27, 2016, 9:02am

Thanks, it work for me … (Ubuntu)

haverweb · July 27, 2016, 10:27am

Just installing node-gyp fixed the problem for my Windows 10 ios.

Execute
npm install -g node-gyp
on the command line.

marczzio12 · July 27, 2016, 10:34am

I tried your method by changing the ownership but the same error show up again. I also change the permission into 777, but the error log still the same. Is it different between ubuntu and oracle linux environment??

lazyPixel · July 27, 2016, 2:43pm

RGGGGH! Same issue here after updating to 1.4! Tried everything suggested! It’s not an access issue for me.

lazyPixel · July 27, 2016, 2:47pm

FIXED! (for me at least):

Run ‘meteor add npm-bcrypt’

and hopefully you’re problems will be resolved.

mugnai · July 27, 2016, 3:04pm

Yes! I finally fixed the problem too!
If you have win10 try these steps (in order):

(Re)install Visual studio 2015
Execute: npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
(as suggested by @leg3ndz)
Then execute: npm install -g node-gyp
(as suggested by @haverweb )
Run the Meteor update

Hope this can help someone

aaronkenz · July 27, 2016, 4:44pm

This worked for me

brucejo · July 27, 2016, 5:32pm

I think you are looking for the instructions here which has all these steps.

aaronkenz · July 27, 2016, 8:54pm

@brucejo just the part meteor npm install --global --production windows-build-tools is the only thing I had to do from those install instructions. Actually when I tried to run meteor npm install -g node-gyp I got errors.

Make note that I ran these commands from an admin shell in the app directory and used meteor at the start of the command.

irbaboon · July 27, 2016, 9:19pm

I had the problem while upgrading with fourseven:scss@3.2.0 package. I added the package again manually with meteor add fourseven:scss and it upgraded correctly. Then my whole meteor upgrade worked. I am using ubuntu, if anyone had the same problem

phocks · July 28, 2016, 6:32am

Can confirm this worked for me on Windows 10. I had Windows Build Tools installed as described in the migrating to 1.4 and I ran npm install -g node-gyp in an Admin permission cmd.
