Custom errors for collection2

[geekyme]

Hello,

If I want to throw my own errors, it seems that I need to specify allow / deny rules on the server side only so they do not interfere with simple-schema.

Is this behavior supposed to be correct? I read on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20375913/where-should-i-put-allow-and-deny-rules-in-meteor-js that there are benefits with placing allow / deny rules on the client side to save on round trips to the server.

Are you sure it is true that allow/deny can't be defined on the client? Validation should be happening before the insert/update is attempted, and therefore before allow/deny are checked. Can you post a repo that shows the issue clearly?

[geekyme]

let me try to make a repo. it works for you?

I don't have time to test at the moment, but I usually put allow/deny in common code, and I've never had an issue. But it's possible you have a certain circumstance that is slightly different for some reason.

i think i made a mistake @aldeed sorry for ringing the alarm. After creating a sample leaderboard app with the same mechanisms in place, it appears the custom errors are working even though my allow / deny are in common code.

appears to be working - http://shawn.meteor.com/

:S I have to try to find out why my own app code is failing to do this.

OK, if you haven't already set SimpleSchema.debug = true, that maybe can help.
