Answer 1

While following the Getting Started tutorial on the official meteor.js website I've had the same problem with autopublish turned on.

Turned out the issue was I created my Tasks collection inside the imports/ folder. Thus it was not implicitly imported on the server.

I had to explicitly import it on the server to solve the issue.

server/main.js

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import '../imports/api/tasks.js';

Meteor.startup(() => {  
  // code to run on server at startup
});

As you can see the import is not used by my code but is required anyways.

Thanks for the help... I actually got it worked by publishing the collection and giving it some permissions:

This code is placed in "myapp/shared/collections.js". (Placed them separately to handle all the other collections which I would add for other graphs)

lineVar = new Meteor.Collection("linenvd3");
lineVar.allow({
         insert: function () {
         return true;
         },
         update: function () {
         return true;
         },
         remove: function () {
         return true;
         }
         });

This code is placed in "myapp/server/publish.js"

Meteor.publish('line', function () {
           return lineVar.find();
           });

Then, this is modified Javascript made look more simpler and comprehensive.

if (Meteor.isClient) {
Meteor.subscribe('line');
Template.linenvd3.rendered = function() {

    var chart = nv.models.lineChart()
      .margin({left: 80})
      .useInteractiveGuideline(true)
      .transitionDuration(350)
      .showLegend(true)
      .showYAxis(true)        //Show the y-axis
      .showXAxis(true)        //Show the x-axis
    ;

    nv.addGraph(function() {
          chart.xAxis.axisLabel('Person number').tickFormat(d3.format('d'));
          chart.yAxis.axisLabel('Age (years)').tickFormat(d3.format('d'));
          d3.select('#lineChart svg').datum(
            [{ values: lineVar.find().fetch(), key: 'Age' }]
          ).call(chart);
          nv.utils.windowResize(function() { chart.update() });
          return chart;
    });

    Deps.autorun(function () {
          d3.select('#lineChart svg').datum(
            [{ values: lineVar.find().fetch(), key: 'Age' }]).call(chart);
          chart.update();
    });
};
}
