What's left until an official Meteor 3.0?

3.0 migration
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

Weekly Update June 28th, 2024 :tada: :comet:

So far we have released rc4 as we mentioned in our previous updates, and work is progressing well for our official Meteor 3 release.

You can check here for more details about our last Release Candidate.

The backlog has evolved a little over the last days with some issues gaining priority, our most important ones are as follows:

  • Incorrect Node.js version in Meteor project if the meteor-tool is missing, this has gone up in priority but it’s extremely hard to solve, we have a path forward but have some loose ends we need to account for, some tests on Windows are failing at the moment
  • The method call order when Meteor goes back from offline and authentication
  • Finding a replacement for @vlasky/whomst since it depends on a package called posix which builds a binary and breaks on some installations

We also confirmed that Cordova is working completely fine, this was done by @nachocodoner, one of our developers with the most expertise in that area.

We are also revamping the documentation and researching ways to simplify the mechanics for call and callAsync, we have @denyhs at this forefront and also huge help from @zodern . The goal is to make Meteor have the best Developer Experience as possible and the migration as simple as possible too.

Other tasks and fixes for the next, and official, Meteor 3.0 Release:

  • Unable to run bundle from “meteor build”
  • Ensure the documentation is up to date
  • Upgrade Node.js to v20.14
  • Improve package version resolution process
  • React Router SSR for Meteor 3
  • Remove pinned version of packages inside the skeletons
  • Add addEmailAsync alias
  • Incorrect Node.js version in Meteor 3 projects
  • Review Security Updates
  • Rename or remove asyncLocalStorage global
  • Verify tinytest major version increase

Meteor 3.0 is expected to arrive on Monday, July 8th or 15th at the most

Next Releases

  • Meteor 3.0.1 (July 22nd, 2024)
  • Meteor 3.0.2 (August 5th, 2024)

These dates are subject to change as we add or remove things from the backlog.
