Setup Issues - this.render() #45

Closed cdoe closed 6 years ago

cdoe commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I'm working on setting up flow-router for a new project and having real trouble getting this.render() to do anything. No matter what I try, I continue to see Error: '.render()' - Requires 'blaze' and 'templating', or 'blaze-html-templates' packages to be installed and can't get anything to show up on screen.

To try and troubleshoot most clearly, a recent one of my experiments went like: meteor create test --full cd test meteor remove kadira:flow-router meteor add ostrio:flow-router-extra Then in imports > startup > clients > routes.js, I adjusted the import statement and changed BlazeLayout.render() to this.render()

Meteor --full mode starts with blaze-html-templates included, so I expected everything to work, but I can't get rid of this error or get anything to render. I've tried adding/removing every combination of those 3 packages imaginable.

Thanks in advance for any insight into what will likely turn out to be a very trivial problem ;)

Hello @cdoe ,

Make sure 

blaze
templating
blaze-html-templates

Are placed above ostrio:flow-router-extra in .meteor/packages file, see https://github.com/VeliovGroup/flow-router/issues/43 for more info. PR https://github.com/VeliovGroup/flow-router/pull/44 will solve this issue

@cdoe please update to the latest release, this issue should be solved now - v3.4.6

dr-dimitru commented 6 years ago

@cdoe please update this thread with your results. Is the latest update solved your issue?

The update seemed to fix all my problems. Kudos for the super quick reply, @dr-dimitru! Super helpful!

From what I can tell, it doesn't matter how those packages are arranged. I currently have just blaze-html-templates and ostrio:flow-router-extra installed. Changing their order in .meteor/packages doesn't break anything. And in this case, it doesn't seem necessary to install blaze or templating, right?

Thanks again!

My suggestion was related to v3.4.5 (previous release). Since I've released an update (v3.4.6), order of packages at .meteor/packages file no longer matter.

But you're still required blaze-html-templates or blaze and templating, e.g.:

'blaze-html-templates' || ('blaze' && 'templating');

Let me know if this info was helpful.

Yes. Very helpful. It is a bit more clear stated that way. Thanks again!
