Nested / Multi Dimentional Arrays

[llvasconcellos]

I'm having problems saving data with nested arrays. They are empty. Removing the schema works fine.

var Schema = {};

Schema.workHoursInterval = new SimpleSchema({
    start: {
        type: String,
        optional: true
    },
    end: {
        type: String,
        optional: true
    }
});

Schema.UserProfile = new SimpleSchema({
    firstName: {
        type: String
    },
    lastName: {
        type: String
    },
    group: {
        type: String
    }
});

Schema.User = new SimpleSchema({
    profile: {
        type: Schema.UserProfile,
        optional: true
    },
    emails: {
        type: Array
    },
    "emails.$": {
        type: Object
    },
    "emails.$.address": {
        type: String,
        regEx: SimpleSchema.RegEx.Email
    },
    "emails.$.verified": {
        type: Boolean
    },
    createdAt: {
        type: Date
    },
    services: {
        type: Object,
        optional: true,
        blackbox: true
    },
    roles: {
        type: Array,
        optional: true
    },
    'roles.$': {
        type: String
    },
    heartbeat: {
        type: Date,
        optional: true
    },
    specialties: {
        type: Array,
        optional: true
    },
    'specialties.$': {
        type: Specialties,
        autoform: {
            type: "typeahead",
            options: function () {
                var specialties = Specialties.find().fetch().map(function(specialty){ 
                    return {
                        value: specialty.name, 
                        label: specialty.name
                    }; 
                });
                return specialties;
            }
        }
    },
    workHours: {
        type: Array,
        optional: true
    },
    'workHours.$': {
        type: Array,
        optional: true
    },
    'workHours.$.$': {
        type: Schema.workHoursInterval,
        optional: true
    }
});

Meteor.users.attachSchema(Schema.User);

This is what I'm trying to do:

Meteor.users.update(userId, {$set: {
    workHours: [
        [{start: '08:00', end: '12:00'}],
        [{start: '13:30', end: '18:00'}]
    ]
}});

This is what I get:

{
    "_id" : "KXmGNLut4TyJex6Tn",
    "createdAt" : ISODate("2016-10-07T13:33:34.071Z"),
    "services" : {
        "password" : {
            "bcrypt" : "xxxxxxxxx"
        },
        "email" : {
            "verificationTokens" : [ 
                {
                    "token" : "xxxxxxxx",
                    "address" : "xxxxxxx@gmail.com",
                    "when" : ISODate("2016-10-07T13:33:34.099Z")
                }
            ]
        },
        "resume" : {
            "loginTokens" : [ 
                {
                    "when" : ISODate("2016-10-13T01:56:18.214Z"),
                    "hashedToken" : "xxxxxxxxxxx"
                }
            ]
        }
    },
    "emails" : [ 
        {
            "address" : "xxxxxxx@gmail.com",
            "verified" : true
        }
    ],
    "profile" : {
        "firstName" : "Denise",
        "lastName" : "Lima",
        "group" : "fdasfdafda",
        "language" : "en"
    },
    "roles" : [ 
        "default", 
        "super-admin"
    ],
    "isUserEnabled" : false,
    "group" : "administration",
    "specialties" : [ 
        "xxxxxxxxxxxx", 
        "aaaaaaaaa"
    ],
    "workHours" : [ 
        [ 
            {}
        ], 
        [ 
            {}
        ]
    ]
}

And this is what I get without the schema:

....
"group" : "administration",
    "specialties" : [ 
        "aaaaaa", 
        "ssssss"
    ],
    "workHours" : [ 
        [ 
            {
                "start" : "08:00",
                "end" : "12:00"
            }
        ], 
        [ 
            {
                "start" : "13:30",
                "end" : "18:00"
            }
        ]
    ],
    "heartbeat" : ISODate("2016-10-13T01:59:04.287Z")

I created this issue 18 days ago and still no reply. All meteor packages seems abandoned. 46 open issues, 14 open Pull Requests... Packages that the meteor docs advise on using. This is not good.

If anyone have this problem I solved it using the option "blackbox: true" like this:

    workHours: {
        type: [[Schema.workHours]],
        optional: true,
        blackbox: true
    }
