Hi Sacha, first of all: great work man!

We are trying to get working the new way of two repo install (5 days old) that's forking this project as starting point (or by creating an empty meteor app), but when running meteor with the example-simple the following appears:

W20171004-11:30:40.823(-3)? (STDERR) TypeError: Cannot read property 'members' of undefined

Are we doing something wrong?

I'll take a look, I still haven't fully adapted all examples for the upcoming Vulcan 1.8 release (make sure you're on the devel branch for the main Vulcan repo btw). So it's possible that something doesn't quite work yet.

I was getting the same error, but have now been able to solve it. For me (I use a Windows environment), the first problem was setting the required Environment Variable.

1. What I believe finally worked was entering SET METEOR_PACKAGE_DIRS="~/Vulcan/packages", where "~" is replaced by a direct link to Vulcan/packages, which for me was "C:\Users\Jerry\Documents\dGit\Vulcan\packages."

2. Then, I restarted my computer.

3. Then I fixed some missing dependencies using "meteor npm install --save [missing dependencies identified by run script]." I believe there were two missing dependencies for me, the last of which was "cross-fetch."

Finally, it started working! Hopefully, this will help you! Jerry
