meteor-weak-dependency-test

A small test of Meteor's weak dependency resolution.

This test shows that although a package is included after another in .meteor/packages, the first package can still reference the later package.

The weak-test package has a weak dependency on iron-router will report the contents of Package['iron-router'] on the server console. weak-test is included first in the .meteor/packages file.

Executing mrt from a command prompt shows that the weak dependency causes iron-router to actually be loaded before the weak-test package:
