Thanks @darrynten

I'm running Meteor 1.2.1. Any idea as to what's going on?

[Streemo]

I am also getting this error in 1.2.1. It seems like SSR.render('layout', context) is throwing. It's making it impossible to use the package.

context = {
  main: 'home'
}

has trouble getting the 'home' template.

[Streemo]

//works
{{> home}}

//does not work
//main === 'home'
{{>Template.dynamic template=main}}

Temporary fix:

{{#if atHome}}
  {{>home}}
{{else}}
  ...
{{/if}}

@ryanswapp Did you resolve the error? I'm trying to follow a tutorial that you wrote on Nov 3 (same date as your post here)

https://medium.com/@ryanswapp/getting-started-with-meteor-and-react-d411a87a1674#.rv51jica7

and I'm getting this same error...

[ryanswapp]

@jonnymd I did! However, I'm not exactly sure what I did... It's been a little while. Maybe try cloning my repo and seeing if the app in the final directory works for you locally. If so, compare your code and see if there are any differences. Here is the link https://github.com/ryanswapp/meteor-pdf-tutorial

I wish I could remember what I did... Sorry about that

[jonnymd]

Just FYI, I cloned your repo and the final worked locally. Not sure what was different but that seemed to work. Thanks for writing the tutorial.

Also, based on ryanswapps usage of this in his tutorial I believe this issue could be closed (seems resolved).

[ryanswapp]

Good to hear! Glad it's working. Wish I could remember what I did to fix the issue... haha

[Alino]

I think I know how you fixed it.
The problem disappeared as soon as I called the dynamic template with data object as well. (in my case I didn't need to pass any data inside template data context so I am passing an empty object)

js

const html = SSR.render("email", {
  template: "emailXmlValidationError",
  data: {}
});

html

{{> Template.dynamic template=template data=data}}
