Meteor more than 10 mins to build

[ajitgoel]

Meteor takes more than 10 mins to build. If I make a simple change it just hangs on the refresh. This is on a windows 10 machine. What could I doing wrong?
Based on the recommendation here, how should I remove the meteor-node-stubs package to check if that helps?

Here’s my package.json

{
“name”: “simple-todos-react”,
“private”: true,
“scripts”: {
“start”: “meteor run”,
“test”: “meteor test --once --driver-package meteortesting:mocha”,
“test-app”: “TEST_WATCH=1 meteor test --full-app --driver-package meteortesting:mocha”,
“visualize”: “meteor --production --extra-packages bundle-visualizer”
},
“dependencies”: {
“@babel/runtime”: “^7.5.5”,
“bcrypt”: “^3.0.0”,
“classnames”: “^2.2.6”,
“meteor-node-stubs”: “^0.4.1”,
“react”: “^16.9.0”,
“react-dom”: “^16.9.0”,
“simpl-schema”: “^1.5.5”
},
“meteor”: {
“mainModule”: {
“client”: “client/main.js”,
“server”: “server/main.js”
},
“testModule”: “tests/main.js”
},
“devDependencies”: {
“chai”: “^4.2.0”
}
}

Sometimes there is an issue with old packages version doing some funky stuffs…
Try a meteor reset if you can drop the local MongoDB
If that does not solve it, try to re-install Meteor
First remove the ~/.meteor directory and run the install script.
curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

I think the best approach today is to use WSL2 and VSCode remote so all the development happens on the linux side. I haven’t yet tried it though.

The other advice I always give is to add exceptions to windows defender:

Windows 10 Meteor build takes way too long

Hi @nicholasfay5, 99% of Windows / speed issues with Meteor are caused by anti-virus slowing down file operations, as there are A LOT of files involved in node apps. I always add exclusions to Windows Defender for: node.exe 7z.exe choco.exe meteor.bat mongod.exe and the meteor folder at C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local.meteor\ This speeds up installs, updates, and builds by about 500% Hope that helps!

But sadly, the windows experience for Meteor (and most node apps) is not good
