Issue using collections from the collections folder.

[studiollama]

I am having an issue with the 1.3 version of angular2 where it says in the tutorial to put export var paties = new Mongo.Collection('parties'); in a file named parties in a folder named collections. This is the error that I get:

However, if I move it to the app file, the server starts, but I get this in the chrome console:
collection.js:220 Uncaught Error: There is already a collection named 'parties'

I just tried this and had no any error. Make sure you updated your project to the latest versions. Otherwise, I need a repo to reproduce.
Also, the tutorial is for the version based on Meteor 1.2.

I was able to figure out what the issue was and its not documented anywhere so it might be helpful to remind people. Since meteor is compiling the typescript code and I assume minifying it. If your IDE is auto compiling code it will have duplicates of the js files on the server.

I don't know why but it's really a problem. I worked this project on WS and catched this errors. Now I'm working in Atom editor and problem was solved.

@studiollama Do you know how I can resolve this problem with the Atom IDE ?

[studiollama]

@gr4h4n I think you could try adding "compileOnSave": false to you tsconfig file. Here is where I found this: https://atom.io/packages/atom-typescript

I don't use Atom IDE so I can't confirm if this works or not.

@studiollama Thank you, your tip works. I also had to delete all auto compiled .js and js.map files.

@gr4h4n where did you find the auto compiled files?

[alexanderwe]

They were located in my working directory.
So for example when compiling 'hello.ts' --> 'hello.js' and 'hello.js.map' were located in the same directory as 'hello.ts'.

[hayk94]

I cannot find them in my working directory thus unable to resolve this problem. Does anybody know where else can these compiled files be?

hayk94, I have the same problem, did you find where the compiled files are?
