Meteor 1.9 is out

[rjdavid]

Can you try deleting .meteor/local and run your app again?

Thanks @ramijarrar - I upgraded bcrypt to 3.0.6 with

$ meteor npm install --save bcrypt@3.0.6

and was able to successfully upgrade to Meteor 1.9.

.meteor/local

Thanks @rjdavid - unfortunately no luck after removing that directory. I’ll keep investigating. I was able to revert back to 1.8.1 in the meantime.

I posted an earlier update script in this thread:

Meteor 1.9 is out

My update process from 1.8.3 was really smooth: meteor update # the core to 1.9 meteor update --all-packages # all yet non-updated packages rm -rf ./node_modules # remove modules meteor npm outdated # check outdated npm packages meteor npm install --save <...> # install all outdated meteor # boom - it's running No issues at all. I also had a very smooth update from 1.8.1 to 1.8.3 after all packages and npm modules were up to date.

Does this work?

Thanks @jkuester - I updated from 1.8.1 to 1.8.3, then tried those steps to try to get to 1.9, but alas, no luck. The 1.8.3 update did work, so that’s great. My app has a lot of history/baggage with meteor, so I’m not that surprised. I’ll keep digging, thanks.

@timheckel with strange problems such as yours, my first go-to is to run meteor reset in your app root.

If that doesn’t work, bring out the heavy guns:

rm -rf ~/.meteor
curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

…and usually everything works again

• bcrypt@3.0.8

@ arggh Thanks for the tip – tried the nuclear option, but no luck. Turns out it was I had to remove an ancient atmosphere package that was wrapping webshot, an old phantom-based screenshot tool that I no longer need to use. Now it’s all good. Thanks!
