Can't get the _id of the finished upload

[jebcode]

finished: function (fileInfo, formData) { console.log(Uploads.find({}).count()) //this is not including the new upload in the count //would like to get the _id of the upload here },

Very vague description, sorry ;( Where do you actually insert something to the Uplaod collection?

That's a good question :) I'm using the built in dropzone in my template, so I'm not sure where the insert into Uploads collection actually happens. Below was my workaround in the finished function with a setTimeout of 1s - not sure why that was necessary. I know it's ugly, but that's all I could figure out at the time!

Below is on server side only:

Meteor.startup(function () {

UploadServer.init({
    tmpDir: process.env.PWD + '/.uploads/tmp',
    uploadDir: process.env.PWD + '/.uploads/',
    checkCreateDirectories: true,
    getDirectory: function (fileInfo, formData) {
        if (formData && formData.directoryName != null) {
            return formData.directoryName;
        }
        return "";
    },
    getFileName: function (fileInfo, formData) {
        if (formData && formData.prefix != null) {
            return formData.prefix + '_' + fileInfo.name;
        }
        return fileInfo.name;
    },
    finished: function (fileInfo, formData) {
        Meteor.setTimeout(function () {
            var upload = Uploads.findOne({path: fileInfo.path});
            MyCollection.update({_id: formData._id}, {$push: {uploads: upload._id}});
        }, 1000);
    },
    mimeTypes: {
        "jpeg": "image/jpeg",
        "jpg": "image/jpeg",
        "png": "image/png",
        "gif": "image/gif",
    }
});

});

Figured it out - thanks for asking that question!

On the client side I just did:

Meteor.startup(function () { Uploader.finished = function (index, fileInfo, templateContext) { var uploadId = Uploads.insert(fileInfo); MyCollection.update({_id: templateContext.data.formData._id}, {$push: {uploads: uploadId}}); } });
