Meteor: bootbox seems to have erased all of my bootstrap files

I have the following error:

input:26:1: Less compiler error: '/packages/bootstrap3-less/lib/less/variables.lessimport' wasn't found

This is confusing for two reasons.

I don't know where this input file is. I include variables.less in index.less like this:

@import "/packages/bootstrap3-less/lib/less/variables.lessimport";

which is technically on line 27, not 26. Maybe I'm being crazy.

I've checked that directory, that file is there, but it's empty.

They're all empty. All of the files under the bootstrap3-less directory are just cleaned out. (Well, most of them. Some of the json files and build files still have things in them, but all the good stuff is gone.)

I was using this bootstrap less packaging which looks like it has changed since I originally installed it.

This happened after installing the bootboxjs meteor package which I was very excited about. I installed it as it recommended:

mrt add bootboxjs

I have removed bootbox, but the damage to my bootstrap package is done.

What happened? How can I intelligently undo the damage? Should I just reinstall the bootstrap3-less package?

Also, how can I keep this from happening again?? I still want to install bootboxjs, since my modals aren't playing nice with changing handlebars (Meteor: Bootstrap Modal breaks when handlebars values change) How should I intelligently install it? Should I maintain it as a local package?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

I ran into a similar problem a week ago. When you add a package using mrt it automatically updates all of your other packages (good feature?). So when you added bootboxjs, it updated your bootstrap3-less package to use their new naming scheme, which is *.import.less rather than *.lessimport.

In order to fix this you have to update your references to any bootstrap related less files to *.import.less.

I would recommend just going back through your bootstrap configuration and making sure everything is as it should be according to their new docs.
