Meteor: insert failed: Method not found
coffeescript, meteor
Solution
Make sure you've also declared your collection on the server as well as the client.
In your code above `@VINs = new Meteor.Collection("vins")` in both the client and server so what it might be is that you've put your code into the `/client` directory?
If so this means that the code will only be run on the client, even though you have the `else` for the `if Meteor.isClient` block.
To rectify this, copy the line you used into a `.coffee` file in the `/server` directory:
@VINs = new Meteor.Collection("vins")
Problem
I am receiving the `insert failed: Method not found` log message and it probably is the result of what is described in these threads: - Meteor using a local connection results in error: insert failed: 404 -- Method not found - Getting a error inserting in to a Meteor Collection However, I'm not seeing how. Let me show the code in hopes that will explain more clearly. I'm using Coffeescript: ``` if Meteor.isClient @VINs = new Meteor.Collection("vins") scoped_vins = @VINs Template.vins.events = "click .icon-plus-sign": -> console.log "this is #{this}" realVIN = $("#your-vin").val().replace /\D/g, '' console.log "user id is: #{Meteor.userId()} vin is #{parseInt(realVIN)}" VINs.insert number: parseInt(realVIN), owner: Meteor.userId() if Meteor.userId() $("#your-vin").val('') else @VINs = new Meteor.Collection("vins") ``` I'm totally a n00b with Meteor, but what I've gleaned from the above-cited threads is that the collection must be available on the client and the server. Is that not what I have done, or am I developing Coffee-blindness? Thanks!
