Error: If you specify a timezoneId, make sure that you've added a moment-timezone package to your app about meteor-autoform-bs-datetimepicker

[hsribei]

It seems like this is the culprit:

if (typeof moment.tz !== "function") {
  throw new Error("If you specify a timezoneId, make sure that you've added a moment-timezone package to your app");
}

The condition is evaluating to true and throwing up that error, but on the console, I get this:

> typeof moment.tz
"function"

So it must be a loading order issue, but I'm a little out of my depth on that. Appreciate any pointers.

I'm not sure other than agreeing it's probably due to loading order. Typically I would expect all packages to be loaded before anything would be setting autoform input values.

You might try editing your packages file and moving mrt:moment-timezone to somewhere near the top.

I think I didn't list any moment-timezone dependencies because you could add it in a lot of ways, but we could add a weak dependency if this becomes a problem. I was kind of waiting to see if there would eventually be an official package, as there now is for moment.

[hsribei]

Tried putting it at the very top of packages, same thing though. I'm thinking it could also be some sort of scope issue.

I'll try adding mrt:moment-timezone as a dependency in a local fork of meteor-autoform-bs-datetimepicker and see if that helps.

I'm getting this same error but only on my update form, insert form is fine.

[sheldonkotyk]

OK, if I have the schema set with type: string and a timezoneId, the fields show up in my update form but I get this warning in the console and the data is not displayed.

"Deprecation warning: moment construction falls back to js Date. This is discouraged and will be removed in upcoming major release. Please refer to moment/moment#1407 for more info."

If the schema is set with type: date and a timezoneId, the fields do not show up and I get:

Error: Exception in template helper:

in the console.

[sheldonkotyk]

OK, tracked it down to multiple moment packages being installed.

I also get this error as sheldonkotyk at the same location.
Besides mrt:moment and mrt:moment-timezone I had the momentjs:moment package included.
However, removing this has not solved the issue. @sheldonkotyk how did you resolve this issue?

BR, Carsten

[gekosurf]

Same here.

Interestingly @ http://localhost:3000/packages/aldeed_autoform-bs-datetimepicker.js
Line 75
if (typeof moment.tz !== "function") {
IS OK

whereas:

http://localhost:3000/packages/aldeed_autoform.js

The next function called, FAILS:
AutoForm.addInputType("bootstrap-datetimepicker",
Line 474 if (typeof m.tz !== "function") {

[aldeed]

@came, @gekosurf, @obvio171 I think this should be fixed in v1.0.6. I added weak dependencies on the moment packages. Can someone confirm?

[joeligy]

I'm still running into this issue in the newest version. The only moment packages that I have installed are:
mrt:moment
mrt:moment-timezone.

Getting the same error mentioned at the top of the thread.

[aldeed]

I published an updated version of mrt:moment-timezone as aldeed:moment-timezone. If you switch to aldeed:moment-timezone, these load order issues should be resolved.
