[SOLVED] Babel Runtime Errors When Updating to Meteor 1.7

help
1

THE SOLUTION

  1. meteor npm remove --save babel-preset-meteor
  2. Delete the hidden file .babelrc from your projects root folder.

That’s it; there’s nothing else to it.

THE ORIGINAL ISSUE

I have tried the recommended meteor npm install --save @babel/runtime with no success. I’m still getting the following errors:

=> Started proxy.                             
app/client/lib/semantic-ui/semantic.less.css: warn: There are some @import rules those are not taking effect as they are required to be in the beginning of the file.
=> Errors prevented startup:
