Meteor app keeps crashing

help
1

I am trying to take a website that was developed with meteor and turn it into a mobile app. I cannot get the app to run in the browser however and keep getting the same error and am unsure how to fix the problem.

I do not know where to go from here with this issue.
It keeps saying to run meteor npm install --save bcrypt and I do and it does not do anything.

So, the bcrypt error is really a warning, not the actual error that is crashing your server.

The issue is further down, caused by an old package, meteorx. Here is a workaround for it. https://github.com/meteorhacks/meteorx/issues/8#issuecomment-476190781

Do you know how to fix this slightly different error?

So, have you updated meteor on an existing project?

As you can read in the stack trace, you are using xolvio:inspectlet, which might have become outdated?

I have updated the project but it appears that xolvio:inspectlet is still outdated. How can I update that?

Also any thoughts on these errors?

Looking at the repository, https://github.com/xolvio/meteor-inspectlet, it has not been updated for 4 years.

So either you remove it, or fork it yourself and fix the isssue. I don’t even know what it does, so can’t help you there unfortunately.

Ah! Actually, I think the only problem is that you have not provided a settings file? The error is looking for a “public” property, probably in meteor settings.

Add a settings file and run the project with that settings file.

So instead of

meteor

you run

meteor --settings=settings.json

when you have created the settings.json file

I am getting W/MeteorWebApp( 3446) followed by an error. This only shows up when I am trying to run it on mobile. Is there a way to remove webapp and replace it with mobileapp?
