Exception in defer callback: Error: Meteor.userId() not invoked from a method or publish function.

[hems.io]

After updating meteor i have been having this Meteor.userId() issue in one of my projects, after searching i found out this library aims to solve the issue, unfortunately after installing the library the error just shifted from one place to another.

here is the current error:

I20170508-18:24:45.589(1)? Exception in defer callback: Error: Meteor.userId() not invoked from a method or publish function.
I20170508-18:24:45.590(1)?     at Object.Meteor.userId (packages/peerlibrary_user-extra/server.coffee:10:13)

and here is without meteor-user-extra installed:

I20170508-18:28:03.389(1)? Exception in defer callback: Error: Meteor.userId can only be invoked in method calls. Use this.userId in publish functions.

turns out i had a defer and i didn't notice and that was the issue.

still i'll use the package due to it's capabilities, thanks a lot for that.
