Using npm on Meteor 1.3 + angular1 (bump!)

Edit note: I am changing this question as I progress. Will continue to update.

I've upgraded my angular-meteor project (Meteor 1.2.1 + jade + ES6 js) to 1.3. The update was successful and everything works as before. I'd like to start using npm to install angular plugins as in: 

meteor npm i <package>

As a first step, I've installed angular and angular-meteor:

meteor npm i angular --save
meteor npm i angular-meteor --save

then added:

import angular from 'angular';
import 'angular-meteor';

I've got a few missing packages errors on the server side, and fixed those by adding them using npm i <package> --save

Now I'm bumping against:

Error: Can't find npm module 'ecmascript'. Did you forget to call 'Npm.depends' in package.js within the 'modules-runtime' package?
W20160410-21:27:53.530(3)? (STDERR)     at Object.Npm.require (/Users/user/work/myproj/.meteor/local/build/programs/server/boot.js:195:17)

Ideas?

Update

I assumed that adding ecmascript would fix it, but the error happens when it's installed. To be clear, I wasn't sure if to meteor add ecmascript or to meteor npm i ecmascript so tried both, separately and together. Nether fixed the above error.

That being said, meteor add ecmascript actually got ES6 errors to stop, so I know it's there and active

2nd-Update (3 weeks later)

Waiting and retrying the update after a couple of weeks solved it: I've run Meteor update then run the server, which in turn errored a few times about missing npm packages but after [meteor] npm install of those, everything worked like a charm. Problem solved!

Here are the steps that worked for me: 1. meteor update 2. review the packages that did not upgrade and upgraded them. Specifically the ones shown bellow:

The following top-level dependencies were not updated to the very latest version available: * angular 1.3.7 (1.3.10 is available) * angular-meteor-auth 0.2.2 (1.0.2_1 is available)

Newer versions of the following indirect dependencies are available: * angular-meteor-data 0.3.0 (1.3.10 is available) * angular-templates 1.0.1 (1.0.2 is available) * pbastowski:[email protected]

  1. meteor npm init (and fill all details)

  2. npm install --save angular angular-meteor

  3. added the following import on app.js (main app file): import angular from 'angular'; (I added also import angularMeteor from 'angular-meteor';, but it does not seem to be necessary).

  4. I received one strict-di error which I fixed by adding 'ngInject'; to that function (RoutingHandler).

That made my project work as before (no new npm packages, no extra imports).

In previous version of Meteor Angular we removed ecmascript if you're migrating, add it back

meteor add ecmascript
