Help: Package Error

koakpet · November 28, 2021, 10:18pm

I just installed mizzao:sharejs-codemirror into my project, immediately after which, the application crashed

I didn’t change any line of code nor add any code to my application, please, what am I missing…?

What error are you getting?

Looks like an error on this line:

github.com

mizzao/meteor-sharejs/blob/master/sharejs-base/sharejs-server.js#L7-L9

    
      
          
          
export const ShareJS = ShareJS || {};
          // See docs for options. Uses mongo by default to enable persistence.

My guess is that when it was last published, the default behaviour was for the client to use pre-transpiled code, and so this const would become a var and not have this issue, where now the raw source is used for more efficient bundling.

It also appears to depend on a fork of share-js which doesn’t exist anymore:

github.com

mizzao/meteor-sharejs/blob/master/sharejs-base/package.js#L8-L14

    
      
          Npm.depends({
            // Fork of 0.6.3 that doesn't require("mongodb"):
            // https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/532#issuecomment-82635979
            // Includes "Failed to parse" bugfix
            share: "https://github.com/qeek/sharejs-tmp-fork/tarball/94c059bd4da24de8e6e90fb83484dd9c7b0efd59",
            browserchannel: '1.2.0'
          });

You could fix this with local copies of the relevant packages, (by adding a local copy to the /packages folder of your app)
https://guide.meteor.com/writing-atmosphere-packages.html#overriding-atmosphere-packages

But I’d be wary that there’s probably a bunch of other issues hiding in this old package
