Meteor 1.3 throws `Tinytest is not defined` error with new app

help

I just tried out the new 1.3 release by creating a new hello world app and it throws an error:

foo|⇒ meteor run
[[[[[ ~/Projects/sandbox/foo ]]]]]

Any ideas on how to get around this? I’ve also tried removing all code in the main.js files but it still throws the same error.

Me too. Totally vanilla app… just “meteor create myapp” and then “meteor” and I get this.

Must be some issue with the updater. I tried installing using “curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh” . It removed my old meteor install and put the new one in and no more problems.

Thanks @foobarbecue that worked I just ran rm -Rf ~/.meteor before and then ran curl. Working now!

This also worked for me – I’m on OSX El Capitan.

I now get this error when I try to deploy a Meteor 1.2.1 app using the install script https://install.meteor.com?release=1.2.1

I think this error is preventing the app from starting.
