error: Package name invalid about meteorite

[tmeasday]

Hmm, I believe so.

[huyvlam]

I have the same issue, is there a work around for this?

[tmeasday]

You'll need to not use packages with capitals in names. If you are using Meteorite you can easily enough just specify them without capitals.

I am using meteorite to install iron-router $>sudo mrt install iron-router
and the GAnalytics that comes with it breaks...

I try both to remove and reinstall with lowercase but it's not working...
here's the error

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/meteorite/lib/meteor.js:145

      throw error;

            ^

Error: Command failed: => Errors while scanning packages:

dot, or colon, not "G".

Hi.

1. AFAIK, iron-router does not and never did come with that package.
2. Is there a reason you aren't using meteor add iron:router? The mrt iron-router package is deprecated.

[huyvlam]

This is what I installed... trying to remove it now to install what you suggested but I can't even remove

@huyvlam you didn't really answer question 2. What's in your smart.json?

[huyvlam]

There was no particular reason... that was just what I found from search

[tmeasday]

@huyvlam if you don't have any particular reason, don't use Meteorite (it's deprecated). Just remove smart.json/lock and packages/ and use meteor add iron:router.

[huyvlam]

{
"packages": {
"GAnalytics": {},
"iron-router": {}
}
}

Got it fixed... thank you
