[solved] Some package update completely breaks my app (cannot find module core-js)

So I did a standard meteor update:

iMac:app patrick$ meteor update
This project is already at Meteor 1.6.1, the latest release.

standard-minifier-js       upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2
xolvio:cleaner             upgraded from 0.3.1 to 0.3.3

After this update, my complete app is broken. The dev server starts up properly, no errors but on the frontend the console is full of errors:

As you can see the whole build process is kinda failing … never experienced this. Any ideas?

Thanks! best, P

Looks like core-js is missing from your node_modules

Should be able to fix with a

meteor npm install core-js

Or worst case, blast your node_modules folder and then install:

rm -rf node_modules
meteor npm install core-js
meteor npm install

Now why core-js suddenly went missing i can’t tell :man_shrugging:

I had the same issue when I updated to 1.6.1, core-js went missing!

Thanks guys, will try this asap! Very weird though … I obviously did not npm remove core.js or anything like that so its really odd why it went missing in the first place …

core-js is listed as a dependency with the @babel/runtime package, so I’m not sure why it’s not getting installed…

meteor npm install core-js --save fixed it!
