Validation messages not showing - SimpleSchema 3.x

[mslobodan]

Problem

I have created a simple Meteor project and added a form. The problem is that validation errors are not showing after submitting.

We are using:

1. aldeed:autoform,
2. aldeed:collection2,
3. communitypackages:autoform-bootstrap4 and
4. npm package simpl-schema

To Reproduce

1. Clone simple repository https://github.com/mslobodan/autoform-validation-issue
2. install dependencies with meteor npm install
3. start project with meteor command

Expected behavior

If form is not populated and after Submit button is clicked I should see validation error below input fields.

Versions

• Meteor version: 2.7.3
• Browser: Firefox, Chrome

Hi @mslobodan thank your for submitting an issue. I am checking out your linked repository right now and get back to you afterwards.

@mslobodan the problem is that SimpleSchema removed Meteor support with version 3 and therefore your { tracker: Tracker } has no effect at all, which results in the messages not being shown reactively.

Downgrading to simple schema @1.13.1 solves the issue. However this is a problem now, because I am not sure how we can work this out.

@jankapunkt Thank you for investigating this and for your explanation! 😄
