Upgrade request so we can upgrade to Meteor 2.3.1

[carlosalvidrez]

Hi guys!
useraccounts:core is not allowing me to upgrade from version 2.2.0 to v2.3.1 (not even to v2.2.1).
I hope you can patch it... the press release explains the issue with packages that depend on accounts-base, accounts-password, oauth, etc... https://blog.meteor.com/meteor-2-3-has-been-released-f9971464ed1e

Thanks!

@carlosalvidrez I also have the same problem, but from what I can see the repo is dead. Are there no alternative solutions to these libraries?

Looks like there is an open pull request that fixes the issue - just needs to be merged
#771

[steveovens]

While waiting for the official release - to get it running on Meteor v2.3.x you can use David Wheldon's local packages directory trick (https://dweldon.silvrback.com/local-packages)

Checkout this package to your local packages directory

Apply the same edits to package.js as in the pull request (i.e. change two lines)

meteor add useraccounts:core will then work

Thanks @steveovens ... Just throwing this out there... if you or someone very familiar with the package would like to tour me into it, I could volunteer to maintain it going forward. I'd just need help setting up a DEV environment for it, properly. It's a great package, it is even mentioned and suggested in the official Meteor documentation : )

Is there a recommended fork that is a published version with that change?

[carlosalvidrez]

Hi @steveovens, wondering if you might be willing to train me (probably for 30 mins)... I'd be glad to help maintain this package going forward.

I have fix with this procedure:

From meteor 2.2

• remove useraccounts and dependencies
• update to 2.3 and than update to 2.4 or directly to last version (2.7.3 in my case)
• restore meteor (this delete locally database, and have you to restore later. So backup if have you dates locally)
• fix new version of node.js

See the migration documentation on https://guide.meteor.com/2.7-migration.html
from 2.3 to 2.7 and apply all tips.

And then this:

• meteor add useraccounts:core
• meteor add fetch
• meteor add accounts-ui
• meteor add service-configuration
• meteor add accounts-password
• meteor add accounts-ui

And Meteor run
