meteor-shell.js never gets created

[kodie]

I'm using meteor@1.8.0.2, mup@1.4.5, and qualia:prod-shell@0.0.3. After I run mup deploy and then SSH into my server as root (which is the same user Meteor is running on), there's no ~/meteor-shell.js file.

Running find / -name "meteor-shell.js" on the server returns this:

/var/lib/docker/overlay2/caede23a6e1f840847c7ae7a17eef67dce0e77b64a09421189ac39e715ec94fd/merged/root/meteor-shell.js
/var/lib/docker/overlay2/caede23a6e1f840847c7ae7a17eef67dce0e77b64a09421189ac39e715ec94fd/diff/root/meteor-shell.js

and executing either one of those files simply returns Server unavailable (waiting to reconnect).

If I copy the contents of shell_client.js to ~/meteor-shell.js and then execute it, I get this:

path.js:28
    throw new TypeError('Path must be a string. Received ' + inspect(path));
    ^

TypeError: Path must be a string. Received undefined

    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:505:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:497:3)

Any help would be appreciated.

Did anyone every find a solution to this, I can't figure it out? I am getting the same issue when deploying with mup and a non root user.

@jamesgibson14 Nope I never did get it working regardless if I was logged in as root or not. My only workaround was to connect the local version of my app to the production database and run commands from local so that I could run functions that do things to the production db.
