Factory & Simple-Schema – ID is required

[Infinitism]

Hi,

I'm using meteor factory to create documents for testing and whenever I try to .create('something') whose collection has a schema attached to it, I get an error "ID is required" on insert from the Factory.

I see that SimpleSchema is getting called on insert so I called .create('something', {_id: Random.id()}) and still get the same error.

Is there a way to use this package with collections that have schemas attached to it?

Hey @Infinitism just define an _id field in your schema like so:

  _id: {
    type: String,
    regEx: SimpleSchema.RegEx.Id,
  },

So when I added the _id to my SimpleSchema, I get this error on mocha when it is running tests

Error: E11000 duplicate key error index: meteor.Items.$_id_ dup key: { : "2rhjAZMrcdg8z8jkc" }WriteError({"code":11000,"index":0,"errmsg":"E11000 duplicate key error index: meteor.Items.$_id_ dup key: { : \"2rhjAZMrcdg8z8jkc\" }"

I think that error is most likely unrelated and maybe an error in your test code. Hard to say without seeing what's going on

I'm honestly not sure why this is causing it. First I realized in the Factory definition, I was not defining all the fields I defined in the SimpleSchema but even after doing that, I get the "ID" is required error on the tests.

I've been commenting out the attachSchema and it works and I'm able to run all my test. If this is something not experienced by everyone, then feel free to close this thread as it could something very unique to me.

Thanks again for your feedback.

See if you can reproduce the exact same problem with as little code as possible in an isolated application, it may help to diagnose the issue
