Jasmine user publications

I have been having an issue with testing a package that requires having multiple registered users at once. On the client, apart from the currently logged in user, the users’ fields are undefined. I can still view the count of users, and the ids. On the server, directly after creation, all fields are visible.

  • Why is this happening?
  • Is this from Jasmine or Meteor?
  • What can I do to access Meteor users when testing a package?

Below is a runnable example that illustrates this:

package.js

Package.describe({
  name: 'user-publication',
  version: '0.0.1',
  summary: 'Used to show an issue with Meteor user publications',
  git: 'git://github.com/andykingking/user-publication-example',
  documentation: 'README.md'
});

Package.onUse(function(api) {
  api.versionsFrom('1.1.0.3');
});

Package.onTest(function(api) {
  api.use([
    'sanjo:jasmine@0.18.0',
    'user-publication',
    'autopublish',
    'accounts-password'
  ]);
  api.addFiles('tests/user-publication-tests.js', 'client');
  api.addFiles('tests/fixtures.js', 'server');
});

tests/user-publication-tests.js

describe('testing user publications', function(){

  beforeEach(function(done){
    Meteor.call('createUsers', function(){
      done();
    });
  })

  it('should be able to see both users', function(){
    var users = Meteor.users.find();
    expect(users.count()).toBe(2);
    users.forEach(function(user){
      expect(user.emails).toBeDefined();
    });
  });

  afterEach(function(done){
    Meteor.call('resetDatabase', function(){
      done();
    });
  });

});

tests/fixtures.js

Meteor.methods({
  'createUsers': function(){
    var users = [
      {
        email:    'beyonce@jayonce.com',
        password: 'drunkInLove'
      },
      {
        email:    'jay@jayonce.com',
        password: '99problems'
      }
    ];
    users.forEach(function(user){
      var id = Accounts.createUser(user);
      var createdUser = Meteor.users.findOne(id);
      console.log('Created user: ' + JSON.stringify(createdUser));
    });
  },
  'resetDatabase': function(){
    console.log('Resetting database...');

    var collectionsRemoved = 0;
    var db = Meteor.users.find()._mongo.db;
    db.collections(function (err, collections) {

      var appCollections = _.reject(collections, function (col) {
        return col.collectionName.indexOf('velocity') === 0 ||
          col.collectionName === 'system.indexes';
      });

      _.each(appCollections, function (appCollection) {
        appCollection.remove(function (e) {
          if (e) {
            console.error('Failed removing collection', e);
            fut.return('fail: ' + e);
          }
          collectionsRemoved++;
          if (appCollections.length === collectionsRemoved) {
            console.log('Finished resetting database');
          }
        });
      });
    });
  }
});
