Cannot remove email using Accounts Package in Mete

Question

When trying to use one of the basic Accounts methods listed below on the server-side, I always get an error of the following type:

TypeError: Object # has no method 'removeEmail'

Server Methods:

• Accounts.addEmail()
• Accounts.removeEmail()
• Accounts.findUserByUsername()
• Accounts.findUserByEmail()

I have tried from inside the app and from the REPL shell.

Accounts-related packages I use:

• meteor-platform
• accounts-password
• accounts-facebook
• pauli:accounts-linkedin
• accounts-twitter
• splendido:accounts-emails-field
• accounts-base
• alanning:roles

You are probably running a Meteor version prior to Meteor 1.2. I think all of the functions you mention were added in 1.2. To check your meteor version, run:

meteor --version

If that isn't the problem, please provide the exact code that is causing the error you mentioned.

FYI, the following shows that those methods exist in my Meteor 1.2 installation with the packages you mentioned:

[brettle@localhost test-app]$ meteor --version
Meteor 1.2.0.2
[brettle@localhost tmp]$ meteor create test-app
Created a new Meteor app in 'test-app'.       

To run your new app:                          
  cd test-app                                 
  meteor                                      

If you are new to Meteor, try some of the learning resources here:
  https://www.meteor.com/learn                

[brettle@localhost tmp]$ cd test-app

#### Note "meteor add accounts-password" also works instead of this next line: 

[brettle@localhost test-app]$ meteor add accounts-password accounts-facebook pauli:accounts-linkedin accounts-twitter splendido:accounts-emails-field accounts-base alanning:roles
