[Solved] Meteor.subscribe not receiving data

[jwkim]

Solved. Wow it was a silly happening.

1. Main reason
   Going back to the very basic, I found everything was just ok:
   (Template.body.helpers({
   tasks: [ { text: ‘This is task 1’ }, .. )

Problem was misusing “&& ” in helpers():
return Tasks.find({}, { sort: { createdAt: -1 } }) && ;

The intention was to avoid null return(|| ), but I did silly mistake.

( This was because in a rash moment, I misunderstood this:

Exception in Template helper?

I believe it has to do with your subscription not being ready when that helper function is first being executed. Since your sub isn’t ready your findOne() won’t match any data as there isn’t any. The reason why the name still shows up in the template and console, is that template helpers are basically Tracker.autorun and the findOne() creates a reactive dependency. So as soon as the data becomes available and your findOne() ‘sees’ the data, it will re-run. Try to wait for the sub to be ready a…

=> return aUser && aUser.name;
)

2. Summary

1. a mistake in helpers()
2. to make sure using this.subscribe(..); (when to use Template.subscriptionsReady)
