Meteor publish undefined or Publish function can only return a Cursor or an array of Cursors

Question

Having some wired issues with my Meteor publish when I have findOne it works but with find it does not and with findOne I get a cursor error.

Here is my code

Answer 1

findOne does not return a Mongo cursor. It returns a Mongo document. If you want this to work, try changing to using return Organizations.find({_id: user.organizationId}); instead. That will return a single document cursor which is what the publish call expects.

For more info check out the docs.

Answer 2

So the issue was due to my template the pub/sub was working fine but in my template helper I had the following which was causing the issue.

hasOrganization: function() {
    var user = Meteor.user();
    var organizationsCount = Organizations.find({$or:[{userId: user._id},{**userId**: user.organizationId}]}).count();
    console.log(organizationsCount);

    if (organizationsCount >= 1) {
      return true
    } else {
      return false
    }

Here is the fixed version

hasOrganization: function() {
    var organizationsCount = Organizations.find().count();
    if (organizationsCount >= 1) {
      return true
    } else {
      return false
    }
  }
