When running iron create project_name I get the following error:

I'm working on Ubuntu 14.04 with Meteor 1.2.1 and Nodejs 5.5.0

I'll really appreciate any advice to fix the issue.

ghost · 2016-03-30T21:28:04Z

Same issue on Windows 8.1 immediately after updating to Meteor 1.3

elie-h · 2016-04-06T06:51:56Z

Any luck?
I'm having the exact same issue as well on OSX, Node 4.4.2, Meteor 1.3.

comefectiva · 2016-04-08T16:11:11Z

This is a temporal solution:

If you cd into the app folder and execute iron init iron-cli can finish the installation successfully, you need to do this after the crash error.

This shoudn't be the right way but is a temporal solution.

supphavit90 · 2016-04-13T09:02:33Z

@comefectiva yes, your solution works for me!

rof20004 · 2016-04-26T06:24:36Z

@comefectiva Worked to mee.

jospablos · 2016-04-28T22:49:39Z

@comefectiva works for me as well, thanks!

What should I do? iron-meteor was working great a few days ago...

FrDarryl · 2016-06-06T11:50:55Z

Just a clarification/disambiguation comment to help others like me who sometimes take still others' comments too literally!

I'm running iron-cli on DigitalOcean droplet.
FWIW, Linux 4.4.0-22-generic #39-Ubuntu (16.04) x86_64:

191:frdarryl@ifordparish:~/apps/
# uname -a
Linux ifordparish.org.uk 4.4.0-22-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 5 16:53:32 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
192:frdarryl@ifordparish:~/apps/
#

Here's the version of iron-meteor installed:

192:frdarryl@ifordparish:~/apps/
# npm list -g iron-meteor
/usr/local/lib
└── iron-meteor@1.5.2
193:frdarryl@ifordparish:~/apps/
#

Scary to get such an error on scaffold creation! Hope generating other stuff, e.g., views, isn't affected.

Anyhow, FYI, the work-around 'iron init' fails if I run from within the actual directory whose name is 'app', i.e., '/{project_name}/app'. I had to run 'iron init' from the newly created project's root dir. I was also asked to confirm overwriting some files created with 'init create {project-name}'.

Followed instruction, after over writing files, I receive the following error:

Installing the package  iron:router... /
/home/mark/.nvm/versions/node/v6.5.0/lib/node_modules/iron-meteor/node_modules/fibers/future.js:300

Error: Command failed: meteor add iron:router
Problem! This project does not have a .meteor/release file. The file should
either contain the release of Meteor that you want to use, or the word 'none'
if you will only use the project with unreleased checkouts of Meteor. Please
edit the .meteor/release file in the project and change it to a valid Meteor
release or 'none'.

CD'ing into the 'app/' folder and running meteor add iron:routing returns the same '.meteor/release' error as above.

this should be fixed now in 1.6.0
