Roles is not work with meteor 0.9.1.1 about meteor-roles

[Sivli-Embir]

@alanning Your likely going to just love this but both Handlebars and UI are depreciated. See https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/devel/History.md. That said I am not having this problem, not sure why its not working for you @zimme but UI should an alias to Blaze. Possibly load order?

[alanning]

@zakirarrayiq, which version of meteor are you running?

In app directory, run:

$ cat .meteor/release

[alanning]

@zakirarrayiq, can you check which version of 'roles' is getting pulled in please?

$ meteor list

[alanning]

@zakirarrayiq, the error message you posted is from an older version of roles so it seems roles version v1.2.13 (for Meteor 0.9.1+) is not getting pulled in for some reason. Not sure why, maybe a glitch in the package hosting servers? These steps work for me:

kaia2:~/tmp$ meteor create foo6
foo6: created.

To run your new app:
   cd foo6
   meteor
kaia2:~/tmp$ cd foo6
kaia2:~/tmp/foo6$ meteor add alanning:roles
  added accounts-base at version 1.0.1
  added service-configuration at version 1.0.1
  added alanning:roles at version 1.2.13
  added localstorage at version 1.0.0

alanning:roles: Role-based authorization
kaia2:~/tmp/foo6$ meteor

@CMToups, thanks for the update. I think we're ok with the deprecation as the 0.9+ versions explicitly check for Blaze stuff first (as much as we're able... grrr).

  if (api.versionsFrom) {
    api.versionsFrom('[email protected]');
    api.use(['[email protected]'], 'client', {weak: true});
  } else if(uiExists()) {
    // This is needed due to Meteor Issue #1358
    //   https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/1358
    //
    // In meteor < 0.9, the 'weak' flag doesn't work with packages 
    // that aren't in meteor's internal cache (ie. non-core packages)
    api.use(['ui'], 'client', {weak: true});
  } else {
    api.use(['handlebars'], 'client', {weak: true});
  }

@alanning You are right I am pulling old code. I am behind a proxy and it gives an error first and then defaults to another package server. Here is output

Refreshing package metadata. This may take a moment.
Error connecting to package server: DDP connection timed out
Warning: could not connect to package server
added accounts-base at version 1.0.1
added service-configuration at version 1.0.1
added alanning:roles at version 1.2.12
added localstorage at version 1.0.0

[alanning]

You can manually get it to work by pulling down the meteor-0.9.1 branch contents into your packages directory.

You may also be able to add "ui" to your .meteor/packages file before "alanning:roles" but it depends on how the Meteor 0.9.1.1 release handles old package names.

[zakirarrayiq]

Thanks for your help. I will wait couple of days to see whether package servers gets updated with your latest versions.

Hi alanning, having some issues upgrading an app to 0.9 and am stuck at the moment on adding roles.

I've mrt migrate-app with out error now (after removing a bunch of pre 0.9 packages from smart.json, including roles), but then tried to do meteor add alanning:roles and I get

Refreshing package metadata. This may take a moment.
Figuring out the best package versions to use. This may take a moment.
Could not resolve the specified constraints for this project:
Error: unknown package: roles

.meteor/releases show [email protected]. meteor list shows the same error as the add command did.

Any ideas?

OK, found it, had to meteor remove cmather:iron-router, then added iron:core etc and then could load roles. Now to see what else I've broken in the process :)

[alanning]

Looks like we'll need to release another version just for Meteor 0.9.2.

I'll publish a new release today and let you know.

Not sure why the 0.9.1 version is not compatible with 0.9.2 but the good news is that this won't be a problem after 0.9.3 lands as Meteor will allow support for multiple versions of packages.

Don't know if you've already published the new version yet, or if I should just hold tight, but FWIW I'm having the same issue (WARNING: Roles template helpers not registered. Handlebars or UI package not found) on Meteor 0.9.2.2.

[alanning]

@pnunn , it sounds like the issue was an older version of iron router?

@zda, could you publish a small reproduction of this issue please? I'm having a hard time seeing that Warning show up.

[zda]

@alanning, try this: https://github.com/zda/meteor-roles-debug

[alanning]

@zda, Thanks for the repro. Running meteor list results in:

alanning:roles         1.2.12* Role-based authorization

 * New versions of these packages are available! Run 'meteor update' to update.

Running meteor update does nothing... but removing and re-adding fixes the issue by pulling in roles version 1.2.13:

meteor remove alanning:roles
meteor add alanning:roles

[Sivli-Embir]

Just an FYI after reading this: I have noted that meteor update and meteor update alanning:roles does not seem to work. An easy trick I have found is just editing the .meteor/packages file like such alanning:roles@=1.2.13

[CaptainChainsaw]

Looks like this is still an issue. I'm getting it on Meteor v1.2.0.1. I've tried removing and adding the package but that didn't work. I've also installed the patch to fix the "Exception in template helper: ReferenceError: Match is not defined " issue.

alanning:roles 1.2.13+ Authorization package for Meteor

Anyone else still getting this issue? Any idea how to fix this?

[alanning]

Hi @CaptainChainsaw,

I just tried creating a new Meteor 1.2.0.1 app and adding roles and it seems to work. I don't see any errors in the console when testing with latest Chrome desktop. Could you try the following steps and see if your results match mine, please?

kaia2:~$ cd tmp
kaia2:~/tmp$ meteor create foo3
Created a new Meteor app in 'foo3'.

To run your new app:
  cd foo3
  meteor

If you are new to Meteor, try some of the learning resources here:
  https://www.meteor.com/learn

kaia2:~/tmp$ cd foo3
kaia2:~/tmp/foo3$ meteor add alanning:roles

Changes to your project's package version selections:

accounts-base          added, version 1.2.1
alanning:roles         added, version 1.2.13
ddp-rate-limiter       added, version 1.0.0
localstorage           added, version 1.0.5
rate-limit             added, version 1.0.0
service-configuration  added, version 1.0.5

Cheers :)

[alanning]

Cool! Thanks for the pointer.
