UndefinedExportException: Could not import Meteor package - RolesCollection is undefined

[smetanamolokovich]

I created a new Meteor + Vue project with the following command:

meteor create --vue simple-todos-vue --release=3.0.2

Then, I added the alanning:roles package and added a Meteor.publish to server/main.js as per the documentation. After importing Roles from meteor/alanning:roles into Home.vue, I encountered an error upon starting the project, which led to a white screen in the browser.

Here is the error message:

Uncaught [meteor-vite] ⚠️ UndefinedExportException: Could not import Meteor package into the client: export 'RolesCollection' is undefined
    at http://localhost:5173/node_modules/.vite/deps/meteor-vite_client.js?v=a01f1f22:117:19

    ...
⚡ Affected package: meteor/alanning:roles
⚡ Export name: { RolesCollection }
⚡ Vite Request ID: meteor/alanning:roles

⚠️ Open an issue - it's likely an issue with meteor-vite rather than 'meteor/alanning:roles'

Steps to Reproduce:

1.  Create a new Meteor + Vue project with meteor create --vue simple-todos-vue --release=3.0.2.
2.  Add alanning:roles package.
3.  Add a Meteor.publish statement in server/main.js as documented.
4.  Import Roles in a Vue component, e.g., Home.vue.
5.  Run the project and open it in the browser.

Environment:

•   Meteor Version: 3.0.2
•   Vue Version: Vue 3 with <script setup>
•   Meteor Packages: alanning:roles
•   Build Tool: Vite (from Meteor + Vue setup)
