Meteor 1.6 and bcrypt package

[conradj]

This is a modified Todo app, which builds fine on my Mac but I can't deploy to Azure.

• Operating system
  MacOS 10.12.6

• Meteor version
  cat .meteor/release
  METEOR@1.6
  meteor show meteor
  Package: meteor@1.8.0 - I just updated to this one from 1.7.1. because meteor-azure failed when trying to install NPM so I've upgraded to latest.

• Package version (run meteor-azure -v)
  v2.0.7

• Command output with debug mode enabled

Thank you :-)

I suspect this may be package-specific (though we haven't tested with Meteor 1.6 yet) - if this isn't a sensitive codebase, are you comfortable sharing access for reproduction?

[conradj]

Sure, here it is

[ramijarrar]

I was able to reproduce the error on one of our test servers and the issue is isolated to the bcrypt package, which doesn't appear to compile properly for Windows on Meteor 1.6. I'm pretty swamped with work at the moment, so won't get a chance to take a closer look for the next few weeks.

In the meantime though, you should be able to deploy successfully by temporarily removing the bcrypt package (see my fork here) or downgrading back to Meteor 1.5. Let me know if you have any issues with either approach.

[conradj]

Thanks - have removed bcrypt for now and it deployed fine. If I deployed with your modified web.config the app doesn't work - just thought I'd mention it in case it was important!

[ramijarrar]

This has been fixed as of v2.0.8 (along with some other compatibility improvements for Meteor 1.6)

Please let me know if you have any further issues adding bcrypt/other packages and functionality
