I have just begun using Cucumber (xolvio:cucumber@0.20.2_1) with Meteor to test my project, and I am having difficulty returning a value from a Meteor.methods stub I created within a step definition.
register-user.js
this.When(/^he clicks the verification link in his email$/, function () {
console.log(this.server.call('_getUser'));
});
registration.js
Meteor.methods({
_getUser: function() {
return Meteor.users.findOne({'emails.address': 'anyemail@email.com'});
});
The log outputs a huge object that looks like the state of the system. I noticed elsewhere that someone suggested
this.server.call('aMethod').then(function(response) {
// you can use the response here
});
But when I do this in my project, cucumber logs Object [object Object] has no method 'then'
.
I also tried Meteor.users.findOne({'emails.address': anemail@email.com});
within the step definition, but I am receiving the error Meteor is not defined
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT
I realized that when I was logging a huge object, it was because the Meteor method _getUser
wasn't returning anything. I then tried Meteor.users.find({}).fetch()
and it returned an empty array, even though my meteor-cucumber collection had my user there, which is another issue I'm experiencing.
You don't need to use this
or then
, the latest version of Chimp is synchronous, so you just do this:
var user = server.call('_getUser')
Just be sure to have registration.js
as part of your Meteor app and not part of the test codebase.
