Meteor 1.2 Compatibility

[MegatronCupcakes]

just updated to Meteor 1.2 and hit the same issue reported by @RanaivosonHerimanitra here: #243 (comment)

per the 1.2 Breaking Changes (https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Breaking-changes-in-Meteor-1.2) I'm guessing LESS constraints need to be updated.

[kartikTT]

Having the same issue as mentioned above, not sure why the package is listed as incompatible with meteor 0.9.0 or after - been using it with 1.1 for a while.

[RanaivosonHerimanitra]

that's weird actually!

[MegatronCupcakes]

I don't know why, but in upgrading to Meteor 1.2, accounts-entry was downgraded from 1.0.3 (which I've been using with no issues) to 0.7.3. Meteor then reports accounts-entry 0.7.3 is incompatible with Meteor 0.9.0 or later. When I attempt to manually update accounts-entry to 1.0.3, I see messages re: conflicting LESS constraints.

[RanaivosonHerimanitra]

Same here

[twavis]

same here...

[fungilation]

same. Need a fix...

[matthewvincent]

same issue as the rest

[girishramnani]

same

[selaias]

I faced similar issues, and I what I did was
-opened .meteor/packages file and comment out all the packages that throw errors,

• completed the upgrade to Meteor 1.2 (this upgrades less and stylus to the needed versions)
• uncomment the affected packages
  started the app

[fungilation]

Nope. Uncommenting joshowens:accounts-entry, after upgrading Meteor to 1.2 doesn't actually let the package run, it's marked as incompatible and disabled.

I;m sorry I had it locally and updated also the dependancy on meteor version.
I maintain a forked version of this package (BUT highly reworked as I eliminated coffescript) which seems to work if you want to try.
Anyway, I guess the owner of this should bump the version of meteor soon.
I'm sorry again for misleading you.

[fungilation]

No worries you aren't misleading. Just corrections where warranted ;)

I was able to get this package working on 1.2 by cloning the repo into the packages direcory of my project, renaming it, bumping a few version nubers and installing it from my package. Here are my steps:

• add the simple-form package meteor add joshowens:simple-form
• bump the meteor version in package.js api.versionsFrom("METEOR@1.2.0.1");
• change the version of simple-form in package.js to joshowens:simple-form@0.2.1, do the same in versions.json
• add your package meteor add [your-modified-package-name]

I updated the project to meteor 1.2 earlier. Also make sure that you remove the normal version of accounts-entry from your project. This is just a temporary solution- we should wait unitil the autor adresses the issue.

[xcv58]

@jakubbilko Could you public your modified package?

[jakubbilko]

It's here: https://github.com/jakubbilko/accounts-entry
I can't guarantee it's going to work flawlessly tho.

[xcv58]

@jakubbilko Thank you very much!

[matthewvincent]

@jakubbilko Thanks! Much appreciated.

[greyarch]

@jakubbilko, this did not work for me, still getting the same error message :(

[jakubbilko]

@greyarch have you removed the old version of accounts-entry from your project?

[adrianbadarau]

@greyarch I had the same issue and it worked after I added the check and ejson packages ( meteor add check ejson )

[hlazardzig]

@jakubbilko: thank you very much! Well done.

[queso]

I am happy to take a PR and push a release here.

[jakubbilko]

PR created ;)

[pawelos88]

I can see that the PR is now merged - could you please push a release? :)

[JogoShugh]

In the interim, is it possible to reference @jakubbilko 's package from Atmosphere?

[TheSpitefulOctopus]

@JogoShugh why not just git clone it to your project

[dougwells]

I know how to clone a github repository but am not sure sure how to run it to fix this problem. Is someone willing to share the steps needed? Thanks

[TheSpitefulOctopus]

@dougwells
here is what i did

in my projects root folder
created a folder called projects
cd to projects
git clone package_you_want
meteor add package_name (can be found in package.js under name)
eg. meteor add joshowens:accounts-entry

i believe that was all i did i can double check if that dosent work when i return home and let you know if you run into problems

[dougwells]

Thanks. Getting closer but still not there. Here is where I am at:

1. Cloned the file into a new directory called projects. Under package.js, the name of the cloned file is also joshowens:accounts-entry

2. When I run $ meteor add joshowens:accounts-entry, meteor is simply installing the original joshowens file, not the new/cloned one on my hard drive

Question: How do I get meteor to install the new/forked jakubbilko version of accounts-entry that I have stored locally in my projects/package.js file?

[dougwells]

Got it!!!!!

One small change to @TheSpitefulOctopus excellent counsel. Within my project root folder, I needed to create a folder called packages (instead of projects). After that it worked perfectly.

For more information on running packages from your local drive see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18328000/installing-a-local-package-on-meteor

Thanks for everyone's help on this forum. Took ~2 frustrating hours to get it to work but I learned a TON through the process ...

[IstoraMandiri]

@queso 👍 could you publish this to atmosphere if it works?

[whitehammer07]

anyone having luck? I'm stuck also

[rklaeboe]

Procedure by @TheSpitefulOctopus + comment by dougwells that the folder is named packages (at same level as 'client' and 'server') with single subfolder: the cloned accounts-entry package works OK for now.

[nephix]

Any chance this is getting fixed without any workarounds?

[chip]

@queso - Any chance that merged PR will be published to Atmosphere soon? 😄

I'm also getting this error with Meteor 1.2.1:

$ meteor add joshowens:accounts-entry                                                                           
Changes to your project's package version selections:                                            
joshowens:accounts-entry  added, version 0.7.3
joshowens:accounts-entry: INCOMPATIBLE WITH METEOR 0.9.0 OR LATER

and:

W20151120-11:06:12.146(-8)? (STDERR) The package joshowens:accounts-entry at 0.7.3 is incompatible with Meteor 0.9.0 or later. 
W20151120-11:06:12.146(-8)? (STDERR) If a new, compatible version of this package exists, running 'meteor update' should cause you to update. 

(meteor update didn't work.)

I'm new to Meteor and not sure if this (via SO) is the ideal solution, but it seems to have fixed it in the meantime:

meteor add check
meteor add selaias:accounts-entry

[zulhfreelancer]

This works for me:

meteor remove joshowens:accounts-entry
meteor add selaias:accounts-entry

[stewartcelani]

@jakubbilko Thanks a bunch for your fix. =)
@dougwells I was also stuck on the microposts section of the course ;) -- Thanks xD

[soutmesa]

thanks

[BarinsGhost]

For anyone who is doing udemy course on meteor and is having an issue and can't fix it, here is what you need to do (assuming you have not installed the joshowens package yet):
meteor add joshowens:accounts-entry
After this you will get the error that says its incompatible.
Now, you are in your PROJECT ROOT folder, eg the name you used when you typed your first
meteor create project
For me it was microposts, as in the udemy course. So I typed
meteor create microposts
And thus my project root folder is microposts
So, now all you have to do is this:

mkdir packages
cd packages
git clone https://github.com/Differential/accounts-entry.git

After that meteor will detect the folder and do the work itself.
Special thanks to @dougwells and @TheSpitefulOctopus

[julioe]

It works thanks to @BarinsGhost, @dougwells and @TheSpitefulOctopus

[johnboscobenedict]

it works for me too thanks to @zulhfreelancer @BarinsGhost, @dougwells and @TheSpitefulOctopus
