Meteor - mrt add [package] with dependencies

Question

I have weird problem with 'mrt add' for packages with dependencies.

1. I have created new app with 'meteor create myapp' (meteor 0.7.2)
2. I wanted to add my package with scss package as a dependency.. all is ok (there is packages/scss and my package and also main smart.lock got scss settings, but in .meteor/packages there is only my package listed)
3. If I run app by 'meteor' Scss compiling don't work
4. If I add scss line to .meteor/packages and rerun everything is ok.
5. I tested this with 'iron-router-progress' which has 'iron-router' as a dependency and effect is the same

Why this is happening? Some kind of mrt bug?

Answer 1

As of now, July 2014, the answer is that you need to use api.imply(['scss']) in your package.js file (note, this is the Meteor package file, not the Atmosphere package file).

For an example see the package.js file for standard-app-packages .

You'll probably also want to add it to packages in your package's smart.json .

This will all probably be changing soon, and hopefully will become documented.
