cannot get shell to work at all #103

To enable Shell, you must set METEORTOYSSHELLENABLED as a true global variable on the server.

...is what is says in v4. Previously it said METEORTOYSSHELL=true on the server. I have tried both, using both "true" and "1", setting user AND system environment variables, closing and re-opening both the cmd.exe window AND the browser. I cannot get it to work, and have not been able to for almost two years now. What's the secret? What exactly do I need to do to get this to work?

I don't know what is meant by "global variable on the server". I interpert that to mean a system environment variable named METEORTOYSSHELLENABLED or METEORTOYSSHELL (not being sure if this is a change or a typo, since I cannot find a changelog). I am not a "server". I am using a [Windows 10] PC for development and am running "meteor" from the command prompt.

@1jerry sorry for the late response here.. not sure if this was fixed or not. I just tested locally and it worked.

Can you run meteor shell and ensure that METEORTOYSSHELLENABLED is true?

The check is literally this:

if (typeof METEORTOYSSHELLENABLED === "boolean") {
            if (METEORTOYSSHELLENABLED === true) {

I made it two if statements just out of (warrantless) caution

maybe you are declaring this variable inside of a file that uses modules? I believe Meteor does a bit of magic there

Closing this out due to age. Please try the new version and these tips. If the issue persists, please let me know.
