[SOLVED] Meteor Accounts.setPassword: Error: Match error: Failed Match.OneOf, Match.Maybe or Match.Optional validation

help
1

Hello,

We get this error in an old project we tried to upgrade.

What we did check:

  • Format of data we insert into the function (always String)
  • Recreated user to be sure (problem is on all users using this function)
  • Updates Meteor, Meteor Accounts and Meteor Password
  • Running “babel-compiler@7.10.4” and “babel-runtime@1.5.1”

Error:

 Exception while invoking method 'addRoleToNewUser' Error: Match error: Failed Match.OneOf, Match.Maybe or Match.Optional validation

   isClientSafe: true,
   error: 400,
   reason: 'Match failed',
   details: undefined,
   errorType: 'Meteor.Error'
 }

Code:

... create user
const user = Meteor.users.findOne(userId);
const password = Random.secret(12);
Accounts.setPassword(String(user._id), String(password), false);

We got a fix! Good to know for everyone that has the same problem:
The third parameter should be an object. In previous versions, this could be a Boolean (there is only one option).

Fix:

Accounts.setPassword(user._id, password, {logout: false});
