流星错误：已定义名为insert的方法

Question

I had created a mongo collection named votes Which was working properly even after updating the packages to latest meteor version. I don't remember changing any part of the working code however I am getting this errors. I had updated the project using meteor update command and tested it right after the update. It ran successfully that time but I have no clue why I'm getting this error. And, not sure which source file should I add to get help...

Can anyone shed some light?

Answer 1

Please note: If you are currently using the Angular-Meteor tutorial to build the app Socially and you are using an integrated development environment (IDE) like WebStorm , which is able to automatically compile TypeScript to JavaScript, my answer will probably help you to solve this problem.

---

I received this error without redefining a collection. Later I found out that my IDE (WebStorm 2016.1) caused duplicates, because it automatically compiled TypeScript to JavaScript even though Meteor handles this job for us. Luckily I got rid of this error by just disabling the TypeScript Compiler in WebStorm and deleting the compiler output files.

So, if WebStorm asks you if you want to compile TypeScript to JavaScript, say No !

If you have already messed up your setup, go to WebStorm → Preferences → Languages & Frameworks → TypeScript and uncheck the "Enable TypeScript Compiler" option:

After that, delete the TypeScript compiler output files:

Now your application should work again. Happy coding!

Answer 2

your xyz.js file code is

  console.log("This is test panel ....");
  new Mongo.Collection('players');           <<-------remove This line 
    PlayersList = new Mongo.Collection('players');

remove

new Mongo.Collection('players');

Answer 3

I had this error because I had new'd the same mongo collection into two different variables.

eg

CrowdEstimates = new Mongo.Collection('crowdEstimates');
CrowdEstimateAggregations = new Mongo.Collection('crowdEstimates');

Cut and paste and distraction....

Answer 4

我认为你在app/collections/collection.js方法名称相同

Answer 5

I encountered the same error message, it happened after I reorganized the folder structure of my application. I had a collection Javascript named drivers.js in a folder named both and I had another Javascript file with the same name (and code) in both\\collections\\drivers.js .

So the error message is more-or-less correct. Just weird looking, at least on my system.
