Meteor.js Async Help: Setting Up Test Data on the Server

Question

I'm trying to set up some test data for my environment that is using Velocity along with Cucumber and Jasmine.

I'm trying to do something pretty normal - setting up some test data in the db beforehand.

I'm running into some issues that seem related to how async behavior works in Meteor. I'm used to using Promises but they don't seem to be an option on this platform.

I want to:

• create a user
• do a find on that user
• console.log the result of that find

Below is some code from my fixture file in tests/cucumber/features

  // make a user - it correctly writes to my cucumber db
  Meteor.wrapAsync(
    Accounts.createUser({
      email: "harry@example.com",
      password: "password"
    })
  )

  // Do a find for that user
  var theUser = Meteor.wrapAsync(Meteor.users.findOne({emails: {$elemMatch: {address: "harry@example.com"}}}))

  // log out that user. The console returns `[Function]` rather than the result of the find. How do I get the result of the find?
  console.log(theUser)

Answer 1

Ok, figured out the answer. Maybe this will help someone else. The find didn't need to be wrapped in Meteor.wrapAsync
