How can I get the name of the currently executing Meteor method?

Can I get the name of the currently executing Meteor method (from within same)? This would be handy for logging.

I inspected this inside a Meteor method. It is an instance of MethodInvocation, and doesn't appear to have anything useful for figuring out the method name.

Seems like it would be easy enough to add the method name to MethodInvocation and callers, but I'm not sure if the maintainers would accept a patch that added a name field to every MethodInvocation instance.

Solution

  • It's easy with Meteor 1.10.1

    You can just use

    this.name

    e.g

    new ValidatedMethod({
  name: "pod.create",
  validate: new SimpleSchema({
    stuff: {
      type: String,
    }
}).validator(),
  run(pData) {
    console.log("methodname:" + this.name);
  }
});

    outputs :

    I20210126-08:35:30.120(0)? methodname:pod.create
