New Meteor app crashes after adding accounts-password

help
1

I’m having a problem when I add accounts-password to ANY newly created meteor app that is causes the app to crash.

I get:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. meteor create myTestApp

  2. I then launch the app and I get the Welcome to Meteor page in my browser.

  3. In a new terminal window, I do meteor add accounts-ui and add {{> loginButtons}} right below {{> hello}}

  4. The app still runs fine, but I see “No login services configured” as expected.

  5. I then do meteor add accounts-password - crash!

I’m a noob, but seems like this should just work. I’ve even done meteor update to make sure all was up to date and I’m told it is.

Thoughts on how to get around this??

I’ve seen this before. Go into your project root folder, and do:

rm -rf .meteor/local

Followed by:

rm -rf ~/.meteor

Sometimes Meteor projects and/or your local package repository gets corrupt. This will clear everything out.

Perhaps worth noting that this completely wipes your DB? :stuck_out_tongue:

Er… yes. By the way, this wipes out your local DB! :slight_smile:

Yep, which is fine as I’m just starting out and I have a fixtures file. And hey, at least it works now! :smile:

I tried this but still i get errors like

Cannot read property 'Blaze' of undefined

And

Cannot read property 'Template' of undefined
