Active user unable to update his own record via endpoint?

I am following this tutorial: http://emadibrahim.com/2013/10/30/kinvey-stripe/


Everything works fine except the user record will not update.  This will fail:


collectionAccess.collection('user')

                    .update({"username": request.username},

                        { $set: { "stripeCustomer": JSON.parse(body) } }); 


Obviously the user calling the custom end point is logged in, obviously. 


But if I test the endpoint in the console logged in with master key and hardcode the username then the user will be updated so the update function is not failing per se. 


I have also tried somehow debug the update function but it returns only what looks like my request, not the response so I don't know what is wrong.

Hi,


I was able to execute this: 

modules.collectionAccess.collection('user').update({"username": request.username}, {$set: { "stripeCustomer": request.body }}, function (err, res) { 
//    modules.logger.info(err);
//    modules.logger.info(res);
    response.complete(200);
});

 

Possible issues with your code:

  1. The request.body is already a JSON object. No need to use JSON.parse() on it.
  2. No callback in the statement you gave. I have included that.

Also, your code needs to be able to handle error conditions.

Do let me know if this is helpful.
