Getting an arguments check() error when no arguments are being passed

I want to improve the security of my app by adding the audit arguments checks package. However, I now get a server error (see below) for the following.


    Meteor.publish('votes', function() {
      return Votes.find(); 
    });

Since I am not (explicitly) passing any arguments to the function, how can I add the necessary checks? (Ie what should I be checking for in a case like this?)

This is the error I get:

Thanks for any tips or advice!

Are you sure you have not forgotten an argument you are passing from the subscribe() call?

This is all I have on the subscribe side, so no arg being passed there:

Meteor.subscribe('votes');

What about using ES2015 optional/rest function params? That’s a better way to go rather than arguments.

Thanks for the tip. Will check it out.

Are you most definitely sure that’s the only subscription to the votes publication and that there is not another lurking around in your codebase, one that passes an argument?

May I what was the solution? Facing the same issue. Thanks.
