Preview of Meteor for Windows

[Oleksandr Stubailo]

Hi everyone,

Since Meteor 1.0, we've been hard at work on one of the most requested features ever: Meteor support for Windows. Today I'm proud to announce the first preview of this feature!

Please give it a try and let us know how it works for you. See the directions on the Wiki page:

https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Preview-of-Meteor-on-Windows

While this is still "preview" quality software - there are definitely known bugs and some features missing - we think all of the major functionality is in place for people to start trying it out.

Special thanks to Stephen Darnell and other contributors to the community Windows port whose hard work made this all possible!

Thanks,
Sashko

[Gabriel Pugliese]

Stephen is the man!

Safe to assume that this is based on the Meteor 1.0 code. Doing a meteor --version just gives the version number of "WINDOWS...@0.0.8".

[Nick Martin]

Hi Eric,

Yeah, this is based on the 1.0 release. The API should be the same as the 1.0 Mac/Linux release, though the code is a little different (based off the `devel` branch)

Cheers,

First, thank you for working on this feature, it's a great news for all of Windows dev !

I give it a try, and I'm a bit disapointed by the delay between doing a modification in text editor, and seeing the page refreshing on the browser.

It's really slower than doing the same test on a Ubuntu/Vagrant setup.

[Arunoda Susiripala]

Any plans on era for windows Build servers. If not how do you recommend us to publish packages.

Do we need to use something older like XP or is it okay if we publish with a new one like win 8 ?

I assume we all have to do publish-for-arch from windows after we have installed dev build tools.

I'm trying to add a package that uses routepolicy but getting the following error:

C:\Temp\test>meteor add tomi:upload-server

Could not satisfy all the specified constraints:
Error: conflict: constraint route...@1.0.2 is not satisfied by 1.0.2-win.0.
Constraints on routepolicy come from:
  <top level>
  meteor-...@1.2.0-win.0 -> autou...@1.1.3-win.0 -> web...@1.1.4-win.0
  tomi:upload...@1.0.0

package.js has the following line:

api.use(['webapp', 'routepolicy'], 'server');


I also get an error on another one with templating:

C:\Temp\test>meteor add tomi:upload-jquery

Could not satisfy all the specified constraints:
Error: conflict: constraint templ...@1.0.9 is not satisfied by 1.0.9-win.0.
Constraints on templating come from:
  <top level>
  meteor-...@1.2.0-win.0
  meteor-...@1.2.0-win.0 -> spac...@1.0.3-win.0
  tomi:upload...@1.0.0

package.js for this one has:

api.use('templating', 'client');

Any clues?

I'm also unable to get this to run because of the package requirements.

[Ralph Emerson Iligan]

I've tested this after I saw Arunoda's twit last week.

I've often have this error " MongoDB had an unspecified uncaught exception." This can be caused by MongoDB being unable to write to a local database...."

[Alban Lecocq]

I also got this one too, few days ago. I had to delete myproject\.meteor\local\db directory to make it start again.I was wondering if this issue is related with SublimeTest trying to read .meteor\ directory, so I excluded .meteor\ from SublimeText project...wating to see if it happens again...

Back in the 6.x.x (If I remember correctly...) I already had this bug in the old community version of meteor for windows.

[gallen liu]

No need delete db directory, just delete mongo.lock works for me.

[Ben Hammond]

Has anyone gotten the meteor hacks NPM module working with this?

Currently it just throws an error that the functions don't exist for me.

[Sashko Stubailo]

Hello everyone!

I hope you all had a good holiday. Today we are releasing a new preview release for Windows that's an almost complete rewrite with fewer hacks, resulting in much better handling of file paths and package loading.

This new preview supports meteor deploy and should overall be better and have fewer bugs. Try it out and see if it fixes some of your issues!

Thanks,

Sashko

[Abigail Watson]

Congrats!  That's very exciting!  Great to see Windows support!   :)

[Ahmet Yasin Uslu]

I tried it with my friend. He had a space in his username and we had some problems with the meteor.bat. We solved it after adding quotes in meteor.bat like following:

@echo off

"%~dp0\packages\meteor-tool\1.0.37-winr.18\mt-os.windows.x86_32\meteor.bat"  %*

[Sashko Stubailo]

Hello everyone!

We have a new preview for the Windows port, WINDOWS...@0.1.1. Download it here: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Preview-of-Meteor-on-Windows

There are lots of fixes in this release. If you were having issues with the previous ones, try again! In particular, we have fixed the issue mentioned here about spaces in usernames. I've also responded to all of the GitHub issues that might be affected.

All features should work now, including meteor shell, meteor deploy, etc. Try collaborating with a friend on Mac/Linux - WINDOWS...@0.1.1 works on all platforms.

Thanks,

Sashko

[Keith Nicholas]

awesome! will see if it solves some of my issues

I'm having an issue discussed here:

https://github.com/meteor/windows-preview/issues/38

I'd be interested in others experiences ?
