the id is not passed to the insert callback

[drgorb]

When using collection.insert(myNewObject, function(err, id){... the id attribute is undefined

[drgorb]

a workaround is to use Random.id() to set the value for _id before calling insert. In this case the id parameter is filled with the correct value. Here is an example:

  var newTeam = {
     _id: Random.id(),
     owner: Meteor.userId(),
     members: teamMembers,
     date: new Date()
  };
  Teams.insert(newTeam, function(err, _id) {
     if (!err) {
        WorkEntry.insert({
           team: _id,
           workEntries: []
        });
....

Umm, seems strange, its just regular meteor.collection

Btw. I'll have a closer look at this package soon - I'm finalizing a project where I created a very small offline db that stores in both local storage and on a S3 server (its a package Meteor client only app in cordova auth via Facebook)
This will be part of v2 of GroundDB

Thanks @drgorb the workaround seems to work great. Did not know that the _id could be set in advance, this must be a new(ish) feature in Meteor.

@drgorb seems to be a workaround for #34 as well.

[raix]

still a strange issue :) it should be basic meteor. could you try the new ground:db? @drgorb I've refactored so it uses async localstorage adapter - but we could in theory create a package for an other adapter and have grounddb use that instead.

[raix]

please test this issue with ground:db at v0.0.3
