Hi, I was following the tutorial Simple Todos and got stuck at the 3rd step:
https://www.meteor.com/tutorials/blaze/collections
I just get blank Todo list no matter how many items I populate into MongoDB using:
meteor mongo
I tried both on Mac & Linux and get the same issue. No error, no crash, just Tasks collection is empty. All I did is just copying from the tutorial:
tasks.js
import { Mongo } from 'meteor/mongo';
export const Tasks = new Mongo.Collection('tasks');
body.js
Template.body.helpers({
tasks() {
// Show newest tasks at the top
return Tasks.find({}, { sort: { createdAt: -1 } });
},
});
Installation details:
Meteor 1.3.2.4 has been installed in your home directory (~/.meteor).
Writing a launcher script to /usr/local/bin/meteor for your convenience.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

need a bit more info…can you check in your console if task items exist?
Tasks.find().fetch()

Sorry which console?
When I ran meteor mongo
and db.tasks.find()
, I get results:
{ "_id" : ObjectId("571ead1842d501eb9ed99f58"), "text" : "Feed the pets", "createdAt" : ISODate("2016-04-25T23:49:44.541Z") }

Hey, I got very same problem, I cannot see data from db on my webpage. After reading this branch I doubled checked my imports and I got everything imported as mentioned in the tutorial. I am sure that I inserted data to database because I can see objects in my database using cmd.
I just started to learn how to use meteor and I get immediately stuck.
I appreciate any help,
same problem goes here!! any one please help
I fixed up my problem by writing code on server/main.js file like this i hope this works for you too
import { Meteor } from ‘meteor/meteor’;
import { Mongo} from ‘meteor/mongo’;
Meteor.startup(() => {
// code to run on server at startup
Tasks = new Mongo.Collection(‘tasks’);
});

Thank you very much for fast reply. It fixed my problem too.
This confused me too, but see https://github.com/meteor/tutorials/issues/30 -
The tasks.js import goes in server/main.js and not client/main.js

Maybe the tutorial styles must be updated a bit to make it more clear the file name/path is different. I spend some time searching what is the problem with my MongoDB. It’s a bit frustrating to fail a tutorial on the second step.
