DB invalid schema

[xlinbsd]

Hello again, U-Wanda,

I have had a hard to find out how to remedy this definitive error.
Error: invalid schema, expected mongodb
which occurs if any new Mongo.Collection() is declared launching any of my packaged local application.

my env. is

macOS 10.11.6 
Meteor 1.4.2.3
electrify 2.2.0

I have to change the default :
self.env.MONGO_URL = process.env.MONGO_URL;
to :
self.env.MONGO_URL = 'mongodb://localhost:'+ self.port +'/meteor';
in :
my-electrified-app.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/electrify-updated-test/lib/plugins/mongodb.js

I will soon try to package the same way on my Ubuntu to check if the remedy is universal.

Thank you to check and correct that from your side, and correct your tweaking help section, please.

Great regards

Hello, and sorry for the late answer.
When it comes to Mac I can hardly be of any help. As i've explained in the description (and Gitter), I haven't had the chance to test this on Mac because I don't own one. I am rather confident it works on Windows and Linux though.

However, if you manage to fix this issue, please let me know here, it'll be helpful to others.
Thank you.

Hi,
I've had the same problem on Win7-64. I applied successfully the same solution wrote on the first post. Only the path to mongodb.js is sublty different.

Please note the bug is universal for me, since I create a Meteor Collection in my project. If you try on the basic example of empty meteor project, there is no problem, because there is no Collection.

Only the path to mongodb.js is sublty different.

How so?

Is the issue resolved then?

How so?

The apps package on macOS are seen all-in-one since the folder app suffixed as .app is seen as a binary. For the user, there is no visible dir for the app, only a binary. The laucher icon IS the folder app. A right-clic on it authorize going into the package, for the advanced usage.

in place of
my-electrified-app/resources
we have :
my-electrified-app.app/Contents/Resources/…

where my-electrified-app.app is the launcher.

Is the issue resolved then?

Yes, the issue is resolved with the above change. I'm convinced that On all Linux, Windows and macOS the default self.env.MONGO_URL is incorrect if you declare any Collection database in your meteor program. Don't you have the problem on your projects ?

example to try into any meteor main.js :
myDB = new Mongo.Collection('myDB')

At least, a tweak comment on your front page can be useful… :)

Wouldn't you change the line 96 of lib/plugins/mongodb.js ?
