error: Package name invalid

[George Diab]

when running mrt, I now get this error:
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/meteorite/lib/command.js:57
throw "Command exited: " + error;
^
Command exited: Error: Command failed: => Errors while scanning packages:

While reading package from /Users/georgediab/openfloor/packages/GAnalytics:
error: Package name invalid: GAnalytics

Perhaps package name has to be all lowercase now?

[Tom Coleman]

Hmm, I believe so.

[Huy L.]

I have the same issue, is there a work around for this?

[Tom Coleman]

You'll need to not use packages with capitals in names. If you are using Meteorite you can easily enough just specify them without capitals.

I am using meteorite to install iron-router $>sudo mrt install iron-router
and the GAnalytics that comes with it breaks...

I try both to remove and reinstall with lowercase but it's not working...
here's the error

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/meteorite/lib/meteor.js:145

      throw error;

            ^

Hi.

1. AFAIK, iron-router does not and never did come with that package.
2. Is there a reason you aren't using meteor add iron:router? The mrt iron-router package is deprecated.

[Huy L.]

This is what I installed... trying to remove it now to install what you suggested but I can't even remove

@huyvlam you didn't really answer question 2. What's in your smart.json?

[Huy L.]

There was no particular reason... that was just what I found from search

[Tom Coleman]

@huyvlam if you don't have any particular reason, don't use Meteorite (it's deprecated). Just remove smart.json/lock and packages/ and use meteor add iron:router.

{
"packages": {
"GAnalytics": {},
"iron-router": {}
}
}

[Huy L.]

Got it fixed... thank you
