Using Iron Router on Server Side of Meteor Application?

Question

I tried calling Router.go('confirmation') to take the user to confirmation page once the information has been inserted into the database.

Meteor.methods({
    'createNewItinerary': function(itinerary){
      var userId = Meteor.userId();
      ItineraryList.insert({
        [....values.....]
      },function(){
        Router.go('confirmation'); 
      });

    }

In the server console, I get the response: has no method 'go'

The data is inserted successfully, so how do I get it to route to a confirmation page?

-- Edit --

Will this work? It seems to but don't know how to verify:

Meteor.call('createNewItinerary',itinerary, function(err, data){
       if(err){
         console.log(err);
       }
       else Router.go('confirmation');
     });

Your suggestion is the good choice to make. You can't catch the Router in a Meteor method because it's server side. You have to do it in the callback function, exactly like you suggested :

Meteor.call('createNewItinerary',itinerary, function(err, data){
   if(err){
     console.log(err);
   }
   Router.go('confirmation');
 });

To check that the work has correctly been done on the server, just throw errors, for example:

 throw new Meteor.Error( 500, 'There was an error processing your request' );

Then if error is thrown, it will be logged in your client side.

Hope it helps you :)
