New Meteor app crashes after adding accounts-password

help
1

Iā€™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 ā€œNo login services configuredā€ as expected.

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

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

Thoughts on how to get around this??

Iā€™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:

Erā€¦ yes. By the way, this wipes out your local DB! :slight_smile:

Yep, which is fine as Iā€™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
