Meteor => Exited with code: 8 Error

Question

Kinda new to meteor. app was functioning fine and seeding the db with dburles:factory until I ran cordova build and meteor add-platform for iOS and Android, and installed all the prerequisites. Now I'm getting the error below. I tried meteor update and meteor reset and it did nothing to remedy.

Here's my javascript files: Controller builders.js

  BuildersController = AppController.extend({
  waitOn: function() {
    return this.subscribe('builders'); 
  },
  data: {
    poo: Builders.find({})
  },
  onAfterAction: function () {
    Meta.setTitle('Builders');
  }
});

BuildersController.events({
  'click [data-action=doSomething]': function (event, template) {
    event.preventDefault();
  }
});

seeds builders.js

Meteor.startup(function() {

  Factory.define('builder', Builders, {
    name: function() { return Fake.sentence(); },
    rating: function() { return _.random(1, 5); }
  });

  if (Builders.find({}).count() < 100) {
    Builders.remove({});
    _(200).times(function(n) {
      Factory.create('builders');
    });

  }

});

publications builders.js

Meteor.publishComposite("builders",  function(limit) {
  return {
    find: function() {
      //set default limit
      limit = limit || 30;
      return  Builders.find({},{limit: limit});;
    }
    // ,
    // children: [
    //   {
    //     find: function(item) {
    //       return [];
    //     }
    //   }
    // ]
  }
});

collections

builders.js

Builders = new Mongo.Collection('builders');

Builders.helpers({

});

Builders.before.insert(function (userId, doc) {
  doc.createdAt = moment().toDate();
});

html

<template name="builders">
  <div class="template-builders">
    <div class="page-header">
      <h1>Builders</h1>
    </div>
    <h2>{{ pageTitle }}</h2>
    <ul class="list-group">
      {{#each poo}}
        <li class="list-group-item">{{ name }} <span class="label label-default">{{ rating }}</span></li>
      {{/each}}
    </ul>

  </div>
</template>

Answer 1

In your app/server/seeds/builders.js you are defining a factory called builder (singular), but a few lines later (line 11) when you are creating an object using this factory, you reference it as builders (plural).

That's what the error is saying:

Error: Factory: There is no factory named builders

Answer 2

Run following line in your terminal or powershell: meteor add dburles:factory

Answer 3

Just in case, you might want to try with Factory.define(... instead of Factory.create(
