Updating objects in meteorMethods

[guma44]

Hi,
I encountered strange behavior (at least in my opinion). I have a collection for which I have a saveItem method defined in meteorMethods. It is simple:

        saveItem() {
            var user = Meteor.user();
            
            // CHECK IF USER IS SIGN IN
            if (!user) throw new Meteor.Error(400, 'You must be logged in');

            if (this._isNew) {
                console.log("Saving item");
                this.userId = user._id;
            }
            else {
                console.log("Updating item");
                if (this.userId != Meteor.userId()) {
                     throw new Meteor.Error(403, 'You are not authorized to edit this item');
                 }
            }

            // Save item
            console.log(this.getModified());
            return this.save({cast: true});
        }

On the server I have a code:

let item = Item.findOne();
item.set('Name', "Updated Name");
console.log(item.getModified());
item.saveItem();

The set method is working well and first logging of item.getModified() shows ['Name']. However, in saveItem meteor method this.getModified() shows empty list and (obviously) the item is not updated in the database. Nonetheless, if I save the item on the server directly after set:

let item = Item.findOne();
item.set('Name', "Updated Name");
console.log(item.getModified());
item.save();

It is updated correctly. I am not sure if this behavior is inentional. Maybe I am doing something wrong here.

My version of Meteor is 1.5 and Astronomy is 2.4.6. Thanks for help.

Yes, it's a bug. I'm working on fixing it. I've already fixed it but I have to make sure that it didn't break anything. I will probably publish new version later today.

I tested it and it's working.
