Errors prevented startup:

While building for web.browser:
error: no plugin found for lib/client/css/admin-custom.less in yogiben:admin; a plugin for *.less was active when it was published but none

Same error here but i fixed it doing the following:

• meteor remove yogiben:admin
• meteor add less
• meteor add yogiben:admin

have you tried a meteor reset after remove yogiben:admin?

[LeonidShamis]

I just tried and it didn't help:

meteor remove yogiben:admin
meteor reset
meteor update less
meteor add yogiben:admin

See the results (including versions info - meteor --version && node -v && npm -v) below:

meteor update less didn't update version up to 2.7.5 for some reason.

Check your less version number manually in .meteor/versions.
It've helped me!

[LeonidShamis]

Yes, meteor didn't update less to the latest version.

I've removed less again and re-installed with specific version - it worked this way and the issue has been resolved:

meteor-admin-lte>meteor remove less
less: removed dependency
meteor-admin-lte>meteor add [email protected]
less: Leaner CSS language
meteor-admin-lte>meteor

FYI - my configuration:

meteor-admin-lte>meteor --version && node -v && npm -v
Meteor 1.4.1
v4.5.0
3.10.6

Thank you.

Hi Leonid,

From which directory should I run remove and add less commands?
Thanks!

[jc2]

@brascene use those commands in your meteor project (where you use "meteor" to run the project)

[brascene]

@jc2 Thank you! Thing was that I don't need to "meteor remove less", just "meteor add [email protected]" and it's all set up.

Fresh meteor install based on :
Meteor 1.4.2.3
v6.9.2
3.10.9

After update of Less ( with fresh of meteor, less is 1.0 ), meteor-admin seem to work... maybe need more test. Updated documentation, I suppose is important.

[emiscience]

Just as a matter of interest, when I first came across this package, I created a bare app and tried to add less then. For some bizarre reason it only adds less 1.0.0 to bare versions. Despite forcing a package update..

Like this for example:

$ meteor create --bare fooBar
$ cd fooBar/
$ meteor list

$ meteor add less
Changes to your project's package version selections:
less                       added, version 1.0.14

$ meteor update less
The specified packages are at their latest compatible versions.

It appears that meteor doesn't always pick up when a few of the packages are out of date as quite a few of those are old.

You'll need to force a full update with meteor update --all-packages

Something else I haven't seen checked is peoples global npn caches. I still forget I have the odd module in them from time to time and spend a while frustrated at something like that.

I'm not sure if this helps, but it's saved me a lot of nightmares in the past, but nodeenv. You can create different virtual node environments and keep pet projects in an 'easy to dispose of' corner.

Just to show you quickly:

$ nodeenv ./path/to/envContainer --with-npm
 * Install prebuilt node (7.4.0) ..... done.
 * Install npm.js (latest) ... done.

$ which node
/usr/local/bin/node

$ which npm
/usr/local/bin/npm

$ echo $NODE_PATH && npm get prefix
/use/local/lib/node_modules
/usr/local/

***now for the fun***

$ . ./path/to/envContainer/bin/activate 
(envContainer)$ 

***and now***
(envContainer)$ echo $NODE_PATH && npm get prefix
/Developer/path/to/envContainer/lib/node_modules
/Developer/path/to/envContainer

Hope this helps someone out...

Great work by the way... Nifty!..
