Issue happens to my existing project after upgrading from 1.5.x to 1.,6

Completely uninstalled Meteor from Windows 10 and installed again.

Same for new project. To reproduce

  1. Create an empty project with “meteor create”

  2. Install collection2-core
    meteor add aldeed:collection2-core
    meteor npm install --save simpl-schema

  3. run with “meteor”

manually adding “tmeasday:check-npm-versions” using “meteor add tmeasday:check-npm-versions” does not help.

Hmm, try switching the order of

aldeed:collection2-core
tmeasday:check-npm-versions

to

tmeasday:check-npm-versions
aldeed:collection2-core

and see if it helps.

Thanks for this idea, unfortunately it did not help.

I just tried

meteor create deleteme
cd deleteme
npm i simpl-schema
meteor add aldeed:collection2-core tmeasday:check-npm-versions
meteor update
meteor

and the app ran successfully without a problem. Can you try this and see if you can reproduce it?

I solved it by moving the meteor installation directory to a higher directory level.

Before it was “c:\users\markus\appdata\local.meteor” now it is “c:\dev.meteor”.

No real idea why this works, might be that a path got too long, but again I don’t know.

Anyhow, my issue is resolved and can be closed.

Thanks for your help.

Huh, that’s quite interesting. I’d hope the latest version solved the long path names problems on windows. Anyway, I’m glad you figured this out.
