Meteor Fixtures

Question

I have been working with this problem for 1 hour already and I cannot be any more frustrated than this.

lib/categories_colection.js

Categories = new Mongo.Collection('categories');

server/fixtures.js

if (Categories.find().count === 0) {
  var categories = [
    {
      category: 'Medicine',
    },
    {
      category: 'Agriculture',
    },
    {
      category: 'Food',
    },
    {
      category: 'Industrial',
    },
    {
      category: 'Agriculture',
    },
  ];

  _.each(categories, function (category) {
    var id;
    id = Categories.insert({
      category: category.category,
      sub: []
    });
  });
};

Am I doing something wrong?

It's pretty much straight forward.. But it seems its not working..

Update: When I start the server in localhost:3000/ no collection of 'categories' is being made, and fixtures is not adding.

Other fixtures such as Meteor.users is working though...

I think you want:

if (Categories.find().count() === 0) {

instead of:

if (Categories.find().count === 0) {
