Project breaks on start with scss installed (on Mac) about meteor-scss

[rdickert]

In my case, I had to remove ~/node_modules. After I did that, Meteorite loaded the the dependencies just fine, and the package seems to work. This worked where deleting ~/meteorite and even reinstalling Meteor did not. Once it was working, I was able to put ~/node_modules back without breaking anything. It appears that NPM (Meteorite?) was confused on which path to use, or perhaps the install and the use paths were different for some reason. I have seen similar bugs reported on other Meteorite packages (Iron Router is one). I wonder if this is a subtle bug in Meteorite. I will post an issue there in case Tom can make something of it.

I've posted an issue to Meteor about this.

That's awesome @rdickert, I'll keep an eye on the Meteor issue. Thanks again!

[fourseven]

I see that you've got an outstanding PR @rdickert, good job (still keeping an eye on this issue).

[rdickert]

Thanks, @fourseven!

[rdickert]

My PR was merged into the Meteor devel branch. That should fix this issue on the next Meteor core release.

[fourseven]

I might as well close this issue, since it's not far away from being resolved (if it's not already - I'm not keeping as close an eye on meteor at the moment).

[rdickert]

My PR hit with 0.7.1, so it should be fixed.

@rdickert @fourseven I just experienced this issue, as well. My project wasn't new, but I am using the scss package and also had node-sass installed. Everything was working fine, but it randomly stopped working (while I was editing some jQuery in a template manager). I went ahead and deleted the node_modules folder in the project directory and it runs fine again. But just want to give a heads up that this issue might not be resolved after all or that it might have resurfaced.

@stewartmccoy If you are using Meteor 0.7.1 or newer and have this problem, it could be a new problem, likely for Meteor, not this package. However, if I'm understanding what you wrote, the problem may be different. If you directly installed node-sass via npm in your project directory, that won't work and will always break Meteor. This package will automatically include node sass at yourproject/packages/scss/.npm/plugin/meteor-scss/node_modules - so you don't need to add it yourself.

@rdickert the problem ended up being that I messed up permissions by doing sudo mrt. I ended up following the help here: https://github.com/oortcloud/meteorite/blob/master/README.md#permission-woes and then reinstalling meteorite. Thanks!

@stewartmccoy Glad you got it sorted :-)
