Meteor Session is not defined

when I run my meteor project, this problem occurred:

ReferenceError: Session is not defined
at app/_components/talk/views/friends_list.coffee.js:1:16
at /home/xyz/web/edp/.meteor/local/build/server/server.js:298:12
at Array.forEach (native)
at Function._.each._.forEach (/home/xyz/.meteorite/meteors/meteor/
    meteor/9bb2b5447e845c4f483df5e9b42a2c1de5ab909b/
    dev_bundle/lib/node_modules/underscore/underscore.js:78:11)

here is my directory structure (I have changed the name of the files):

├── _components
│   ├── project_form
│   │   └── client
│   │       ├── lib
│   │       │   └── ...
│   │       ├── project_info
│   │       │   ├── x1.coffee
│   │       │   ├── x2.html
│   │       │   ├── x3.coffee
│   │       │   └── x4.html
│   │       └── views
│   │           ├── x5.coffee
│   │           └── x6.html
│   ├── README.md
│   └── talk
│       └── client
│             ├── x7.coffee
│             ├── x8.html
│             ├── x9.coffee
│             ├── x10.html
│             ├── x11.coffee
│             ├── x12.html
│             ├── x13.coffee
│             ├── x14.html
│             └── x15.less

If I change the directory structure to the following, meteor runs correctly.I really don't know why, how could it happened? I think the file loading order may make a difference to it. But I can't figure it out.

├── _components
│   ├── project_form
│   │   └── client
│   │       ├── lib
│   │       │   └── ...
│   │       ├── project_info
│   │       │   ├── x1.coffee
│   │       │   ├── x2.html
│   │       │   ├── x3.coffee
│   │       │   └── x4.html
│   │       └── views
│   │           ├── x5.coffee
│   │           └── x6.html
│   ├── README.md
│   └── talk
│       └── client
│           └── views
│               ├── x7.coffee
│               ├── x8.html
│               ├── x9.coffee
│               ├── x10.html
│               ├── x11.coffee
│               ├── x12.html
│               ├── x13.coffee
│               ├── x14.html
│               └── x15.less

As per latest Meteor ^1.5.1

goto .meteor/packages file and add session at the last line.

NOTE: It does not matter whether your meteor server was UP or NOT.

Old Answer

Stop the meteor server and run below command.

meteor add session

While the above is correct, if you are using newer versions of Meteor, Session is no longer supported by default. Stop your server, open terminal and write:

meteor add session

If you’re looking for ReactiveVar and ReactiveDict, same issue. Open terminal and write:

meteor add reactive-var reactive-dict

This happend to me after i deployed to DigitalOcean with mupx.

Session worked when developing on localhost, but after deploying i got ReferenceError: Session is not defined

Error was fixed after adding session to meteor packages and redeployed.

This might be happening because Session only works on the client and at app/_components/talk/views/friends_list.coffee.js it would also be run on the server.

You might want to move all your views/client side stuff into the /client directory or place it in:

if(Meteor.isClient) {

}
