Could not update lightning components: Cannot read property 'Id' of undefined

Question

I am using sublime and mavens mate combination. When I am trying to save an existing component, It is giving the following error: "Could not update lightning components: Cannot read property 'Id' of undefined".

I tried to clean the project and tried to delete .lightning file config folder, but they ddnt work. Can anyone please suggest a workaround for this ?

In my experience, there are two ways to get this error:

1. You created your component using the Developer Console and after you refresh your metadata index and Update the project, then when you save any change the error shows.
   • To solve this error, you need to go to config folder and delete the .lightning file.
2. You created your component using Mavensmate, so when you try to save the error appears.
   • Here you only need to Refresh your metadata index and Update your Project.

For me was the first error and that's why I tried to sum it up in this post. Hope this help.
