Meteor patch update BROKE my build!

help
1

Well, this is unfortunate…

I have a a meteor app at 1.6.1.1. Not too old, one would think…Works just fine. Then the system announced a patch update was available to 1.6.1.3. It’s a patch update…shouldn’t break, one would think.

But it did…I run

meteor update --patch

Then, when I build my app, I get this:

=> Errors prevented startup:

To allow potentially incompatible changes to top-level dependencies, you must pass --allow-incompatible-update on the command line.

This is a PATCH update!!!

Aaargh!!

Running

meteor run --settings ./settings-dev.json --allow-incompatible-update

with the --allow-incompatible-update removes errors, but I don’t trust this thing at all :slight_smile:

A patch update breaking things??

That is strange, it looks like something is forcing to downgrade on the dependencies that are causing the problem. Please check that you don’t have your top level dependencies set for a particular version or if one of your packages isn’t forcing a lower version than the current one, which would be strange given that these are official packages and those are required (for the most part) without a version constrain.

The --allow-incompatible-update will work here, but you want to update those packages up, not down.

Here is the output of meteor list before the patch update:

I hit the same issue - also updating from meteor 1.6.1.1: Meteor 1.6.1.3 patch update - Potentially incompatible change required to top-level dependency errors?

The solution for me was to downgrade back to meteor 1.6.1.1 and then update ONLY meteor core:
i.e.
meteor update --release 1.6.1.1

meteor update --release 1.6.1.3

This may help you.

I’ve logged an issue for it in github: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/10008
