I'm trying to implement checks in Meteor method, but facing some strange behavior of SimpleSchema package (i'm using latest one which is 1.3.3 at the moment);

From the Docs:

Call mySimpleSchema.validate(doc) to validate doc against the schema and throw a ValidationError if invalid. This is like check(doc, mySimpleSchema) but without the check dependency and with the ability to pass full schema error details back to a callback on the client.

I defining a simple Schema like this:

var mySchema = new SimpleSchema({ name: {type: String} });

var invalidDoc = { name: 123 };

However mySchema object does not have "validate" method. I can only call validation using

mySchema.namedContext().validate(invalidDoc);

This method return false, but didn't throw any exception. The only way to go about I found so far is to call Meteor "check" function like this: check(invaidDoc, mySchema) And this does work as expected.

So, my question is: how to perform checking of object in Meteor method context, without using check();

Meteor.methods({
  'myMethod'(someObject) {

    var schema = new SimpleSchema({
        name: { type: String }
    });

    schema.namedContext().validate(someObject); //DOES NOT THROW!

    console.log('This should not be here!');
  }
});

This feature has apparently been added in version 1.4.0 of the SimpleSchema package, so it is not available yet in v1.3.3. I guess you will have to use check() until 1.4.0 hits atmosphere!
