You can't create a Meteor project inside another Meteor project? #27

Closed DylanLyon closed 6 years ago

DylanLyon commented 6 years ago

I must be misunderstanding how to use this plugin because the very first step in the documentation doesn't work?

You're supposed to cd into your project root directory then create a new meteor server inside of it. Except when you try to do that you get this error, 'You can't create a Meteor project inside another Meteor project.'

Am I missing something?

This plugin extracts the meteor packages from a real meteor project, which lives in a subfolder. Is that even possible? I could really use some help getting this thing working. Thanks!

ah, your top-level folder is not supposed to be a meteor project, only the subfolder inside of it should be a meteor project. To be specific, the top-level folder should not contain a .meteor directory. Try creating an new empty folder, copying your current meteor project into it as a subfolder, and then trying to follow the documentation. If you have any problems after that please open another issue.

Also, I just added the explanation about the top-level directory to the readme.

@jedwards1211 so it would look like this?

New Folder ---Main Project Folder ----- .meteor Folder ----- all project files/folders ---Meteor server ----- .meteor folder

That makes sense and was a configuration I tried but couldn't get working. But now that I know it's the correct setup I'll take another crack at it! Thanks!

@jedwards1211 might as well ask this here instead of opening a new issue.

I'm trying to get React Storybook/Styleguidist working with my project, and the issue I'm running into is that they use webpack and whenever it encounters a file with a meteor import (i.e. 'import Roles from meteor/alanning:roles') it can't find the module because it's not an npm module.

Do you think your plugin can help with this? If not, can you possibly point me in the proper direction?

@DylanLyon - the plugin should work. Do you experience any problems, and if so - what problems?
