unable to pick schema key of type array

[pociej]

Schemas.TestSchema = new SimpleSchema({
  test : {
    type : String ,
  }
});

Schemas.MySchema = new SimpleSchema({
  myField : {
    type : [Schemas.TestSchema]
  }
});

then

Schemas.MySchema.pick('myField')
Error: Invalid definition for myField.$ field.

confusing...

See issue #284.

Looks like I'm having luck by passing both "myField" and "myField.$". E.g.,

Schemas.MySchema.pick('myField', 'myField.$');

This worked for me; and if anyone comes across in the future, also when I had

type: [String],

and wanted to pick it, I needed to include fieldname, fieldname.$ in my pick
