Meteor 1.3.2.4 user's collection no longer getting helpers?

[MichaelJCole]

Edit

Sorry, this may be in the wrong place. I filed this other bug on collection-helpers

As a workaround, I did this:

    if (!Meteor.userId()) throw new Meteor.error('accessDenied', 'access denied');
    if (!Meteor.user()) throw new Meteor.error('accessDenied', 'access denied');
    var u = Meteor.users._transform(Meteor.user());
    if (!u.checkReputation('alwaysHappy')) throw new Meteor.error('accessDenied', 'access denied');
    ...

Hi, I'm getting a regression with my user collection's helpers.

The user collection is defined essentially like this:

Schema.User = new SimpleSchema({
  // So many fields
});

Meteor.users.attachSchema(Schema.User);
Meteor.users.attachSchema(Schema.AutoTimestamps);

var userHelpers = {
  /* All the helpers */

  checkReputation: function(access) {
    check(access, String);
    if (!Meteor.userId()) throw new Meteor.Error('accessDenied', 'access denied');

    // Check to see if the user has enough reputation
    switch (access) {
      case 'alwaysHappy':
        return true;
      default:
        return false;
    }
  },
};
Meteor.users.helpers(userHelpers);

Meteor.users.before.update(function (userId, doc, fieldNames, modifier, options) {
  /* Update some stuff */
});

Meteor.users.after.update(function (userId, doc, fieldNames, modifier, options) {
  /* update some stuff */
});

And its used in a method like this;

  clientCreateOpportunity: function(op) {
    check(op, { /* details */});

    if (!Meteor.userId()) throw new Meteor.error('accessDenied', 'access denied');
    console.log(Meteor.userId());
    if (!Meteor.user()) throw new Meteor.error('accessDenied', 'access denied');
    console.log(Meteor.user());
    if (!Meteor.user().checkReputation('alwaysHappy')) throw new Meteor.error('accessDenied', 'access denied');
    /* Do more things */
  }

Meteor.user() used to have the helper function, and now it doesn't - in the last week or so.

This was caused by Meteor.error() instead of Meteor.Error(). Meteor.error is undefined.
