I only just started having this problem—the local version of one of my packages has some small but critical changes, and meteor is now for some reason not picking it up. I can tell by 1) meteor list does not show that it is using the local version with the + sign and 2) console.logs that I add locally are not occurring.
I have verified that METEOR_PACKAGE_DIRS is set correctly, and I have been doing this for a while with no problems… what else am I missing?
As of one of the most recent versions, PACKAGE_DIRS was officially deprecated in favor of METEOR_PACKAGE_DIRS (see here), though for some reason this is not in any of the release notes.
Regardless, I have both set and none of my local packages are being recognized/used.
