What's left until an official Meteor 3.0?

3.0 migration
16

I’ve got to say that Meteor v3-beta has been working great for me (and teams I work with). Bang up job! Haven’t started porting legacy packages yet, but new projects have been working near flawlessly.

Along with GitHub Copilot and well baked user interface with Material UI, we’re getting better results than ever before. Butter smooth animations, complex data parsing, AI and LLM integration, sophisticated graphing and data visualizations… all of it is next-level.

Yes, the issue I was getting with the source map was fixed in the first beta.

So we have a project running in production with Meteor 3 without any changes in Meteor core.

Thanks a lot. Went back to it and gave it another try and it works. I am live with one Meteor 3. This opens doors to some testing.

I’d be interested in hearing about how you integrate to LLM if that is possible.

21

Mostly via langchain.js, which requires Node v18. Once we were able to run Meteor on Node 18, everything mostly fell into place and it was basic app developing using an external API. Given langchain’s predominance in the LLM space, I suspect Meteor v3 is going to be remembered as the version where AI/LLM support was added.

I just tried to create an application with FlowRouter and blaze in beta 3.0, but it doesn’t seem to work yet, has anyone tried it yet?

23

Likely, it is pulling an old version of FlowRouter and possibly an old BlazeLayout version also. For the latter, and other few packages, see my post here Looking for help migrating packages to Meteor 3.0 - #29 by illustreets. They all have pull requests submitted, you might want to clone locally those PRs until the maintainers merge them.

We should be able to help more if you paste the log here.

Hello,
I have just tried.

Make sure you use :

ostrio:flow-router-extra@3.10.0

Then you have to clone the package and remove this line :

api.versionsFrom(['1.4', '3.0-beta.0']);

And it works

Me again :slight_smile:

Has anyone already made alanning:roles work?
is there a newer version than 3.6.2?

27

No 3.6.2 is the latest one. There will be v4, which will remove sync api from the server. Other than that 3.6.2 is compatible with Meteor 3.

28

Ok but…
So why do I get these errors when I try to update?

error: Conflict: Constraint accounts-base@2.2.4 is not satisfied by accounts-base 3.0.0-beta300.6.
Constraints on package “accounts-base”:

  • accounts-base@2.2.4 ← alanning:roles 3.6.2

Conflict: Constraint mongo@1.16.0 is not satisfied by mongo 2.0.0-beta300.6.
Constraints on package “mongo”:

  • mongo@1.16.0 ← alanning:roles 3.6.2

Conflict: Constraint blaze@2.7.1 is not satisfied by blaze 3.0.0-alpha300.17.
Constraints on package “blaze”:

  • blaze@2.7.1 ← alanning:roles 3.6.2
29

When you update and there’s conflicts you can use the exclamation prefix like so: alanning:roles@3.6.2! in .packages

I cloned the github repo,
commented out the line api.versionsFrom(['2.8.0'])
and changed the line

api.use(['blaze@2.7.1'], 'client', { weak: true })
to
api.use(['blaze@3.0.0-alpha300.17'], 'client', { weak: true })

and it works, thanks
