Meteor 1.4. AutoForm validation message not showing

Question

I've added autoform packege (meteor add aldeed:autoform)
I've added collection2-core packege (meteor add collection2-core)
I've installed simpl-schema (npm i --save simpl-schema) But form still does not working correctly

/imports/api/rooms/rooms.js

import { Tracker } from 'meteor/tracker';
import { Mongo } from 'meteor/mongo';
import SimpleSchema from 'simpl-schema';
SimpleSchema.extendOptions(['autoform']);

export const Rooms = new Mongo.Collection('rooms');

Rooms.attachSchema(new SimpleSchema({
    title: {
        type: String,
        label: 'Title'
    },
    desc: {
        type: String,
        label: 'Description'
    },
    createdAt: {
        type: Date,
        autoValue(){
            return new Date();
        }
    },
}), {tracker: Tracker});

/imports/ui/pages/home.js

import { Template } from 'meteor/templating';

import './home.html';

import { Rooms } from '../../api/rooms/rooms.js'

Template.Home.helpers({
    rooms() {
        return Rooms.find({});
    },
    CollectionRooms() {
        return Rooms;
    }
});

/imports/ui/pages/home.html

<template name="Home">
    <div class="jumbotron">
        <div class="container text-center">
            <h1>Forum</h1>
            <p>“Don't raise your voice, improve your argument."</p>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="container-fluid bg-3">
        <h3 class="page-header">Choose your room</h3>

        {{> quickForm collection=CollectionRooms id="insertRoomsForm" type="insert"}}

        <div class="row grid-divider">
        {{#each rooms}}
            <div class="col-sm-4">
                <div class="col-padding">
                    <h3>{{title}}</h3>
                    <p>{{desc}}</p>
                </div>
            </div>
        {{/each}}
        </div>
    </div>

I see the form and it inserts record into database, but validation message not showing and why there is field "created at"? what I'm doing wrong?

Can you try doing `AutoForm.debug()` and then resubmitting the form and see if there's an error — Afif Sohaili, May 24 '17 at 01:33
What validation message are you expecting it to show? If you submit a blank form, what is getting stored in the DB? Secondly, ```createdAt``` is being shown because it's specified in the schema by you. If you need it to be a hidden field, then use: ```createdAt: { type: Date, autoValue(){ return new Date(); }, autoform: { type: "hidden" } }``` — blueren, May 24 '17 at 08:50
@blueren thanks for help to figure out with autoValue, I thought it makes field hidden by default — Roman Yakoviv, May 24 '17 at 18:05

There is a typo in your Schema, which causes the Tracker not been included. This in the end causes your form to not have (reactive) validation messages. The corrected code is:

Rooms.attachSchema(new SimpleSchema({
    title: {
        type: String,
        label: 'Title'
    },
    desc: {
        type: String,
        label: 'Description'
    },
    createdAt: {
        type: Date,
        autoValue(){
            return new Date();
        }
    },
}, {tracker: Tracker}));

thanks, yes you are right the programming makes people blind). I've wasted a tons of time. You've saved my life) — Roman Yakoviv, May 24 '17 at 18:12
