Meteor 1.3 NPM: Unexpected reserved word import

Question

I'm trying to follow the guide here:

https://guide.meteor.com/using-packages.html

Installing a few node packages then trying to import them into my methods.js file but Im getting the following error:

W20160423-15:08:57.338(9)? (STDERR) app/server/methods.js:1
W20160423-15:08:57.338(9)? (STDERR) (function(Npm,Assets){(function(){import Fibers from 'fibers';

My packages seems to be installed correctly. Not sure what's causing this, Is this a bug?

Answer 1

This error occurs if you don't add ecmascript packages. I think (not sure), this is added by default for newer projects but needs to be added explicitly when updating from previous versions of meteor. Try adding this package using,

meteor add ecmascript

Last time, I also faced similar problem, I came to know about it from this link.
