Meteor fails to start after update

I did a ‘meteor update’ while my server was running and now it fails to start.

This is what was updated:

This project is already at Meteor 1.6.1, the latest release.

As it was complaining something about babel I ran this to revert babel upgrade, but this did not help:

meteor add babel-compiler@=7.0.2

Today and yesterday I’ve restarted the server numerous times and also ran ‘meteor update’ again. However nothing seems to help.

Trying to reproduce your issue I just ran meteor update on one of my projects and it updated the babel-compiler 7.0.6 (in indirect meteor module dependency), and then had the same problem when trying start the application.

@babel/runtime is actually a npm module and package.json listed it as
@babel/runtime": "^7.0.0-beta.39.

I just updated the npm module by doing this

± meteor npm i @babel/runtime
+ @babel/runtime@7.0.0-beta.42
updated 1 package in 2.476s

and everything was fine after that

It’s easy when you know what you’re doing. :slight_smile:

Thank you - this fixed the issue also for me.

Though, still wondering why this occurred in the first place.

Ran into the same issue meteor npm i @babel/runtime updated mine to version7.0.0-beta.44 and all is well.
