Has anyone got meteor-desktop working with Meteor 2.3+ with node 14? As soon as I add the meteor-desktop package and restart I get these errors:
=> Started proxy.
=> Started MongoDB.

During the upgrade I encountered the Warning: Accessing non-existent property... errors a couple of time but I managed to eliminate those by upgrading various npm packages to versions compatible with Node 14. But I’m already using the latest version of meteor-desktop.
It’s great that it works ! I plan to make a version of my web-application for desktop on Windows, and what desktop are you doing for? As it turns out in general?
I only use meteor-desktop for one client and they only use it on Windows. The main use case is so the app can interact directly with their network file system and Outlook.
Well, I plan to use the desktop version of the application as a distribution kit for my psychodiagnostic application for those users who prefer to store all data on their local computer and work independently of the Internet. Do you think it’s real to make distribution kit for Windows from Meteor app?
Thank you. I’ve created an issue on the community-maintained fork of meteor-desktop here:
We need to get that community fork published to npm so that releasing changes like this is possible. Does anyone know who owns it? I use meteor-desktop for my business so I’d be happy to help keep it up to date.
