Thank you for your amazing work and consistent updates! My team and I are eager to upgrade to the latest version. We’re currently working on updating our large project from Meteor 2.16 to 3.1.1. However, after the update, we’re encountering issues with the build process.
After completing the update, I reset Meteor and the database. Our project also underwent an async refactor, meaning the codebase was adapted to use async methods and collection calls.
During the build process, I receive the following error:
=> Started proxy.
=> Started MongoDB.
=> Exited with code: 7
=> Your application is crashing. Waiting for file change.
–Verbose gives me
Adding CSS > Merging [ app/imports/ui/teacher/MaterialPage/ShareMaterial/_styles.scss ] > 1k
Adding CSS > Merging [ app/client/main.scss ] > 626k
minifyStdCSS: Total CSS 825k /
=> Exited with code: 7
=> Your application is crashing. Waiting for file change.
Additional Context:
I suspect the crash might be related to imports, possibly due to the new JavaScript strict mode introduced in Meteor 3.x. However, I’m unsure if this could lead to an exit code 7.
Could someone provide more details about what exit code 7 indicates? I couldn’t find information about it in the documentation or codebase.
Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

ok, I noticed this (above). Can you try to comment out some SCSS imports and reduce the size and see if it moves on. That is a lot of SCSS if k refers to “KB”.
Installed Meteor libraries versions can be check in the versions file unde the .meteor folder.
same error or something different related to syntax or missing imports which possibly were not triggered in previous versions? (BTW I use leonardoventurini:scss@2.0.0 with Meteor 3.1.1)
To be frank, at this point I don’t know if the build problem is related to SCSS or something else and it just stops with that message.
I would go and further remove SCSS imports until SCSS is excluded as a possible problem.
Maybe you could use the METEOR_PROFILE env variable and see if you get more info. Maybe experiment with different lengths of time for METEOR_PROFILE.
Another thing … If you still have old files/bundles in .meteor/local, built with other versions of Meteor you would rather delete everything under /local and only keep the DB.
Overall I would love to understand more about what causes code 7. In my experience this get’s thrown when something happens like server tries to import from client or something like this. Wondering why my current build works on 2.16 though.
Kind of having an error when attempting to throw an error :).
I might be hallucinating but I think @zodern might have had a recent comment about server should not crush due to errors in packages but … I also not sure that would be related to the present problem.
