request.user is "undefined" in the "beforeSave" function in the Cloud code #2930
Description
In my ParseServer migrated into the Heroko + mLab stack,
I have a beforeSave function set for a custom "OBSERVATION" Class as below.
Parse.Cloud.beforeSave("OBSERVATION", function(request, response) {
... ...
var currUser = request.user;
console.log(request);
console.log("*** User objectId: " + currUser.id + "; " + currUser.getSessionToken());
... ...
});
I want to get the user name triggering the Save event. According to the Parse JavaScript SDK Reference, a "BeforeSaveRequest" takes a "user" as a member, which represents the User triggering the "Save" event.
However, this is always "undefined" for me. Is there anything I missed or did wrong?
Steps to reproduce
Please include a detailed list of steps that reproduce the issue. Include curl commands when applicable.
- In the BeforeSave function, add
console.log(request);
Expected Results
{ triggerName: 'beforeSave',
**user: {ParseObject {
sessionToken: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
id: 'hDijlsmDP'
}},**
object:
ParseObject {
_objCount: 1538,
className: 'OBSERVATION',
id: 'xUskfmanDY' },
master: true,
log: FileLoggerAdapter {},
original:
ParseObject {
_objCount: 1541,
className: 'OBSERVATION',
id: 'xUskfmanDY' }
}
Actual Outcome
{ triggerName: 'beforeSave',
object:
ParseObject {
_objCount: 1538,
className: 'OBSERVATION',

master: true,
log: FileLoggerAdapter {},
original:
ParseObject {
_objCount: 1541,
className: 'OBSERVATION',
id: 'xUskfmanDY' }
}
