Hi Albert,

Indeed the TypeScript definitions are wrongly set that the lookup method returns a Promise when it would return an observable. I have logged this as a bug - thank you for reporting this.

As a workaround, you may cast the method as returning an observable or any like this:

var subscription = (Kinvey.User.lookup(query) as any).toPromise();
                subscription
                .then((user: Kinvey.User) => {
                        console.log('here', JSON.stringify(user));
                    })
                    .catch(err => {
                        console.log('err', JSON.stringify(err));
                    });

or like this:

const subscription =(Kinvey.User.lookup(query) as any)
  .subscribe((user: Kinvey.User) => {
    console.log('here', JSON.stringify(user));
  });

Let me know if this has helped.

Hi Albert,

I tried to reproduce the described behavior but without any success. The User.lookup() method will return an observable, not a promise as stated in the documentation and as you can see in the source code here: https://github.com/Kinvey/js-sdk/blob/master/src/core/user/userstore.js#L62.

Could you please send a sample project you are testing with in order to replicate the issue?
