Problems retrieving objects from seneca services

Hi,

I’m having an issue with a Meteor application communicating with Seneca services on the backend.
It appears requests are being received but the object responses are not being received by Meteor, returning undefined.
The traceback is directly below.

Have anyone experienced this and/ or have any remedies/ ideas?

Thanks

John

If you put a 10 second timeout in the seneca service before calling done, does the meteor side immediately fail or wait 10 seconds before failing?

Thanks for this tip, pward123

I can introduce an <= 5 second pause with the same result/ below, >5 causes a client timeout error.

Also, this functionality used to work in previous versions/ platforms, so I’m suspecting a breakage.

Thanks
