method-update returns badly formatted keys

[pkpowell]

I've been experimenting with simpl-schema + autoform v.6 and a form with method-update will return keys with the question mark formatting from the schema in place. This didn't use to be the case. Is this a bug or do I need to change something in my code?

{
  "_id": "wa25aF7P5xMuibu3C",
  "modifier": {
    "$set": {
      "companyPrefs.$.companyName": "abcdefg",
      "companyPrefs.$.emailBaseFQDN": [
        "abcdefg"
      ]
    }
  }
} undefined

Here's the corresponding schema

const prefs = new simplschema({
    "companyPrefs": Object,
    "companyPrefs.$.companyName": String,
    "companyPrefs.$.emailBaseFQDN": Array,
    "companyPrefs.$.emailBaseFQDN.$": String,
})

As far as a can see in the docs your schema should be:

const prefs = new simplschema({
    companyPrefs: Object,
    "companyPrefs.companyName": String,
    "companyPrefs.emailBaseFQDN": Array,
    "companyPrefs.emailBaseFQDN.$": String,
})

Thanks, that helps! Now I'm getting Match error: Unknown key in field $set Previously the autoform-method returned an object (that passed check() and clean()) like this:

 { '$set': 
    { 
      'companyPrefs.companyName': 'abc',
      'companyPrefs.emailBaseFQDN': [ 'xyz.com' ],
      'apiKeys.googleMapsAPI': '123456',
     }
 } 

With autoform v.6 and the new node simpl-schema it it comes with extra _id and 'modifier' keys

{ _id: '3SRKjSxmnnkJ6wMsp',
  modifier: 
   { '$set': 
      { 'companyPrefs.companyName': 'abc',
        'companyPrefs.emailBaseFQDN': [ 'xyz.com' ],
        'apiKeys.googleMapsAPI': '123456',
        } 
} }

So in my method I've tried running checkand clean on doc.modifier:

            let mod = doc.modifier
            check(mod, schemas.prefs)
            schemas.prefs.clean(mod, {
                extendAutoValueContext: {
                    isInsert: false,
                    isUpdate: true,
                    isUpsert: false,
                    isFromTrustedCode: false
                }
            })

but it baulks at Unknown key in field $set

Yeah, I think I changed it to pass as a single object by default in order to work with mdg:validated-method. The default used to be two separate args. But you should only have to use doc.modifier

It would be nice to have in the Note about version 6 that the parameter of the method have change. before it was methodName: function (modifier, _id) {} now it's a single object methodName: function ({ modifier: _id }){}. for the error, I'm not sure but I think that node-simple-schema is didn't work with check function like before :/
