meteor add fails?

[Broham]

I am attempting to add Iron Router to an existing project that I have, but when I run:

meteor add iron:router

I get the following error:

Can anyone see why this is happening and how I can get around it?

[mstrlaw]

In case you have other packages installed as well, try installing iron router on a fresh project to see if you get the same error (it can be package conflicts). Also, what Meteor version are you using?

[Broham]

I was able to install on another project. I am running Meteor 1.2.1

[Broham]

Here is a list of packages installed on the problem project:

# Meteor packages used by this project, one per line.
# Check this file (and the other files in this directory) into your repository.
#
# 'meteor add' and 'meteor remove' will edit this file for you,
# but you can also edit it by hand.

# Mandatory
meteor-base             # Packages every Meteor app needs to have
mobile-experience       # Packages for a great mobile UX
mongo                   # The database Meteor supports right now
session                 # Client-side reactive dictionary for your app
jquery                  # Helpful client-side library

# Deployment
standard-minifiers      # JS/CSS minifiers run for production mode
es5-shim                # ECMAScript 5 compatibility for older browsers.
ecmascript              # Enable ECMAScript2015+ syntax in app code

styles-base
birt:core
birt:ui
birt:info
birt:scrubber
eha:nojs-banner
meteorhacks:aggregate
simple:reactive-method

Am I overlooking a potentially conflicting routing package?

[mstrlaw]

I don't see any package related to routing. I once got a similar issue. I think I solved it by removing all the packages I had installed, installing IR, then re-installing all packages again on by one. Try to do that on the project you installed IR successfully to see if that works.

[xiaochen-NEU]

Hi, I got the same error message and when I tried to add iron:router to a new app, it failed... I'm using Meteor 1.2.1 ,too.

[mstrlaw]

Yes it seems on 1.2.1 the install or IR fails.. The only way I got it to work is by using a Meteor version > than 1.2..

[chrisbutler]

i can't reproduce this... closing until anyone has something more concrete
