Meteor error while trying to serve app

Question

I'm working on an app using meteor and angular. It was working fine, but now when I try to start it, I get this:

 While processing files with ecmascript (for target web.browser):

=> Your application has errors. Waiting for file change.

I tried running another app, and it works fine, but this one doesn't. I'm ruuning Meteor 1.3 on windows 10

Answer 1

For me, I had the same issue but fixed it by downgrading my meteor version from 1.3.3.1 to 1.3.2.4. run command

meteor update --release=METEOR@1.3.2.4

Although the process takes some good time to complete

Answer 2

I fixed the problem by updating to a 1.3.1 release after reading this issue comment https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/6609#issuecomment-205016877

meteor update --release 1.3.1-rc.3

Answer 3

It looks like you're simply missing (at least) two modules:

• babel-plugin-transform-runtime
• source-map-url

Try installing them and retry...
