Xolvio/meteor-cucumber: get this.userId when logged in

Question

when using xxx shouldnt my fixture methods be aware of this.userId if I am logged in?

'userId': function () {
      console.log("#################");
      console.log("################# USERID: ", this.userId);
      console.log("#################");
    }

This always prints null when called from a step definition.

Please add the code around this in order to understand the context — Random, Jul 13 '15 at 15:15

if you are calling this from a step definition using this.server.call you are making a server to server connection therefore you won't be logged in.

You need to use the client to make a call to be authenticated:

this.client.executeAsync(function() {
  Meteor.call('userId') // this will be sent from the client
});
