mrt add bootstrap-datepicker has error message. cannot find css js file

.....
Done installing smart packages

Stand back while Meteorite does its thing

Done installing smart packages

Ok, everything's ready. Here comes Meteor!

=> Errors while scanning packages:

While building package bootstrap-datepicker:
error: File not found: lib/bootstrap-datepicker/js/bootstrap-datepicker.js
error: File not found: lib/bootstrap-datepicker/css/datepicker.css

I have tried manually adding the bootstrap-datepicker.js and datepicker.css files exactly into the above lib locations. It still throws the same error.

Any help on this please?

[kevingzhang]

I did too, put code manually, won't work as insaneinc01 mentioned.

[krishnaff]

OK, I got this working manually using bootstrap-datepicker.js and datepicker.css from http://www.eyecon.ro/bootstrap-datepicker/ and dropping these files into the client folder. Used the markup as mentioned in that page along with the following template helper:

Template.templatename.rendered = function() {
$('#datepicker').datepicker();
}

Hope this helps someone.

Also, I didn't understand why none of the following worked:
https://github.com/eternicode/bootstrap-datepicker
http://vitalets.github.io/bootstrap-datepicker/
http://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

I remember, one of these threw a "ReferenceError: window is not defined" error. (something to do with jquery ui, i'm not sure?). Though my problem for now is solved, It would be nice to see some explanation for learning sake. Thanks!

This is a serious problem, and he seriously needs to fix it. This package is worthless with this problem hanging.

I double checked and I cannot reproduce this problem.

To be sure, are you using the bootstrap-datepicker package? or the boostrap-datepicker2 package? This is the repo for boostrap-datepicker2, since bootstrap-datepicker didn't work for me.

Just updated to Meteor 0.8.2 and did a mrt add bootstrap-datepicker2 and I see the following:

While building package bootstrap-datepicker:
error: File not found: lib/bootstrap-datepicker/js/bootstrap-datepicker.js
error: File not found: lib/bootstrap-datepicker/css/datepicker.css

Any ideas?

I had this issue long time ago.
My solution ( which may not be a good solution) is manually go to github,
copy the source code locally into the package folder. In this case, the
bootstrap-datepicker is "your own code", which means won't be automatically
upgrade. It's OK for me.

Definitely not an ideal solution, but it does work. Thanks.

you can use bootstrap3-datetimepicker(package working) , it is extension of datepicker,
if dont need timepicker you can simply set : pickTime: false;
