Meteor Session is not defined

Question

when I run my meteor project, this problem occurred:

ReferenceError: Session is not defined
at app/_components/talk/views/friends_list.coffee.js:1:16
at /hom         


        

Answer 1

While the above is correct, if you are using newer versions of Meteor, Session is no longer supported by default. Stop your server, open terminal and write:

meteor add session

If you’re looking for ReactiveVar and ReactiveDict, same issue. Open terminal and write:

meteor add reactive-var reactive-dict 

Answer 2

As per latest Meteor ^1.5.1

goto .meteor/packages file and add session at the last line.

NOTE: It does not matter whether your meteor server was UP or NOT.

Old Answer

Stop the meteor server and run below command.

meteor add session

Answer 3

This happend to me after i deployed to DigitalOcean with mupx.

Session worked when developing on localhost, but after deploying i got ReferenceError: Session is not defined

Error was fixed after adding session to meteor packages and redeployed.

Answer 4

This might be happening because Session only works on the client and at app/_components/talk/views/friends_list.coffee.js it would also be run on the server.

You might want to move all your views/client side stuff into the /client directory or place it in:

if(Meteor.isClient) {

}
