未找到本地 Meteor Package

Question

I'm having trouble setting up my project to use a local meteor package instead of a "remote" one. The meteor package I'm trying to use locally is a copy of meteortesting:mocha (so I can put my own logs into it).

Here's what I've done:

• Git cloned the meteortesting:mocha repo onto my machine
• Copied the repo into my project root folder with cp -r [PATH]/meteor-mocha **.**
• Set METEOR_PACKAGE_DIRS=./meteor-mocha

But when I run "meteor add meteortesting:mocha" (which is the name of my local package in./meteor-mocha/package/package.js) it still adds the registered/online meteortesting:mocha package instead of finding my local one.

I also tried fooling around with the name of my local package (ie name:"meteortesting:mochalocal") to differentiate it, but when I ran meteor add meteortesting:mochalocal it gives the error "error: no such package"

Does anyone know why this may be the case? I based my set up on this article

I know I can also try to put it in./packages, but I wasn't sure how to approach that with this repo because it's more than just a package.js folder.

Answer 1

You can use the ./packages folder inside your project. Copy the package folder inside this. Then you will have:

./packages/meteortesting:mocha

Or you can use another folder to your packages. Example:

/home/my_packages

Then set this:

METEOR_PACKAGE_DIRS=/home/my_packages

Then your package will be in this path:

/home/my_packages/meteortesting:mocha
