I can’t understand what I’m doing wrong ... right?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. The problem here is that you have the package in the root folder of the app/zeroasterisk:throttle application, when it should be app/packages/zeroasterisk:throttle . Put the package in the packages folder and it will be resolved.

Answer 2

You can try reading the official package migration guide. This guide explains how to fix broken packages. Url

Answer 3

Thanks for the suggestions - as it turned out, it was some other Package. I created a new Meteor application and added my package, and it worked perfectly: /

Therefore, I don’t know the exact reason, maybe I’m rewriting the Package object for something, but in any case it was easy enough to get around.

Answer 4

I had a problem that was stopping me from deploying my application. The reason was because I had a package directory defined in my client folder (application / client / packages). However, this should be in the main project directory (application / packages). After I deleted the package folder in the client folder, the application was able to deploy without problems.

I had a call to the Package.describe () method, which was causing an error that helped me track this issue.
