Meteor setup issues on Windows

Question

We've recently upgraded our project Meteor version to v1.8.2, however when running the following command: meteor update --all-packages, were encountering some strange errors. Here's an example of one the errors:

=> Errors while initializing project:

While loading package [email protected]:
error: Command failed: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c
E:\Applications\Meteor\.meteor\packages\meteor-tool\1.10.2\mt-os.windows.x86_64\dev_bundle\bin\npm.cmd rebuild --update-binary
Cannot download "https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v4.7.2/win32-x64-72_binding.node":

HTTP error 404 Not Found

Hint: If github.com is not accessible in your location
try setting a proxy via HTTP_PROXY, e.g.

export HTTP_PROXY=http://example.com:1234

or configure npm proxy via

Some additional information: After checking the logs, it seems the meteor tool were using is 1.10.2. Does using the latest meteor tool for a v1.8.2 project cause issues?

1 verbose cli   'E:\\Applications\\Meteor\\.meteor\\packages\\meteor-tool\\1.10.2\\mt-os.windows.x86_64\\dev_bundle\\bin\\node.exe',

Any ideas what's wrong?

Thanks!

Can you post the full logs from meteor update?

Are you using fourseven:scss? Because it installs it’s own version of node-sass which is likely the problem. Have a look at the version compatibility table here: https://github.com/Meteor-Community-Packages/meteor-scss And check that the version of fourseven:scss matches a compatible meteor version.

The alternative is to remove it, update and install the atmosphere package again, that way it won’t get in the way of the updater’s dependency resolver

Note that if you are using fourseven:scss, there’s no need to have node-sass in package.json.
