Error: Cannot find module 'meteor-promise'

[shtefcs]

Hi people,

Recently I started facing this issue and can't run meteor apps.

Error: Cannot find module 'meteor-promise'

Screenshot below:

Whatever i type with meteor I am getting that error.

I found this issue #7221 , but I don't see solution.

I re-installed meteor, nodejs, today, but still same.

Can you try these more extensive reinstall instructions?

• Uninstall Meteor from:
  • Win10: Settings > System > Apps & features > Meteor > Uninstall
  • Win7: Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Meteor > Uninstall
• Using Windows Explorer, delete the .meteor folder from %LOCALAPPDATA% completely – do not try putting it in the recycle-bin, it probably won't work and use 7-zip File Manager to help you delete it if necessary.
• Install the latest version from https://install.meteor.com/windows (skip logging in at end due to Windows installer: "Login failed" during install #6218 bug)
• Restart
• Open Command Prompt and type meteor --version to confirm it's working.

Yeah, it sounds like your dev bundle (the pre-built bundle of tools and npm packages that we ship with each version of Meteor) is somehow corrupt (i.e. missing meteor-promise and potentially other packages).

@abernix Thank you mate, it worked.

I got another problem, not sure if its related and should I create new issue for it.

When I do meteor npm install I get this

Here is the whole console log https://gist.github.com/shtefcs/239996c42810a3422eb23cb1eed588b8 .

@benjamn Thanks for your help to!

Edit: Btw, forgot to mention that I am on W7.

@shtefcs That is not a Meteor error. Most likely, Chimp links to dependencies in GitHub directly and NPM is attempting to clone a Git repository over the SSH protocol and failing because you don't have ssh installed. I'm not sure what to recommend, but you might start by opening an issue with xolvio:chimp, I guess – or maybe by forcing your Git to use non-ssh URLs via this method.

abernix, thanks, that helped me on Windows.
But now i have some error again after I did the following. Made a copy of working project folder, installed 3 packages(semantic:ui, flemay:less-autoprefixer, jquery) and changed some code, then just decided to revert to a backed up project, that now have stopped working.
In the root 'meteor --version' works and shows 1.4.2. But the project that just resently worked now shows:

@Sanxel Maybe try deleting that dev_bundle link yourself in Windows Explorer (possibly as administrator, if necessary). It should be re-created automatically the next time you run the meteor command on that project.

@abernix Thanks for quick reply! Will definetly try this. At this point I just couldn't wait and manually recreated new project with required packages(took me like 20minites) and copyed the code over. It works ok now. I will try deleting dev_bundle link, if encounter this again. Thanks.

I have reinstalled Meteor 2-3 times and this issue continues to appear.
