Unable to fetch user Roles

[gazzer82]

I am trying to get an array of the Roles a user belongs to, and failing miserably.

I have tried the following call, both on the client and the server:

var Roles = Roles.getRolesForUser(userId);

But i always get the following error:

Exception from sub socialPosts id sPK5J8DMx5Ss9kNbt { stack: 'TypeError: Cannot call method \'getRolesForUser\' of undefined\n    at [object Object].Meteor.methods.fetchRoles

I have tried passing in both a user object and users ID and neither seem to work, i have checked with Node Inspector and both the user object and the userID are valid and not null when the Role.getRolesForUser is called.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Sorry being an idiot, removing the var from Roles fixed it.

@gazzer82, careful with the use of that variable. If you use Roles as your own variable then you are overwriting the Roles variable which gives access to the roles package. :-)
