Trying to port Crowducate from Meteor 0.8 to 1.0. I ran "meteor update". Branch for Meteor 1.0 is --> here.

I had update-issues, i.e. I couldn't remove the "old" iron-router for the "new" iron:router. So currently, both versions are installed (this has to change, of course). Meteor package file:

# Meteor packages used by this project, one per line.
#
# 'meteor add' and 'meteor remove' will edit this file for you,
# but you can also edit it by hand.

# Packages by Meteor
standard-app-packages
preserve-inputs
audit-argument-checks
spiderable
less
coffeescript
accounts-password
accounts-facebook
accounts-google
accounts-ui

# Packages by munity
minimongoid
iron-router
iron:router
kaptron:minimongoid

# Packages by Manuel Schoebel

Running meteor: Gives the following error:

In the end, I also get the following error:

Exception in defer callback: TypeError: Cannot read property 'insert' of undefined

So most things are undefined. I also locally changed Meteor.Collection to Mongo.Collection. Now, both are undefined.

Thanks for trying to help out, Amir

• javascript
• mongodb
• meteor
• iron-router

• 2 Try putting your collections under lib so they get loaded first. – David Weldon Commented Nov 18, 2014 at 15:21
• @DavidWeldon: thx for the tip :) done, but won't change anything. – Amir Rahbaran Commented Nov 18, 2014 at 22:07

I also had these errors given I had installed Iron Router via meteorite:

$ mrt add iron-router

This installed an older version which is inpatible with Meteor 1.x. Try removing iron-router via meteorite and installing via meteor:

$ mrt remove iron-router
$ meteor add iron:router

Just to be safe run reset before relaunching:

$ meteor reset
$ meteor

I just had the same problem. I tried following @Jason's instructions but kept getting:

error: unknown package in top-level dependencies: iron-router

when I tried to install iron:router. Thanks to this thread I finally got the issue resolved by removing iron-router from .meteor/packages. Apparently mrt remove iron-router doesn't pletely remove all traces of iron-router.

For template undefined error,

try run meteor reset mand and then start server with meteor

Note: meteor reset will do reset your build and also local mongodb data

Update: It should remove the error but anyways try full uninstall of meteor from your system and install it again.

The meteor core installation might get corrupted while auto updating from 0.8 to 1.0 version

Uninstall meteor -

rm -rf ~/.meteor

rm -rf /usr/local/bin/meteor

Install

curl https://install.meteor./ | sh

Above will install latest version of meteor i.e 1.0

and after that now update your project with

cd <your-project-directory>

meteor update --release 1.0.0

this worked for me: meteor remove iron-router
