meteor-autoform: Errors with latest versions of autoform + collection2 + simpl-schema

Hi aldeed

First of all, thank you for your contributions : simple-schema, collection2 and autoform are killers

I’ve recently wanted to switch to simpl-schema (npm package) and i’ve encountered some errors. Here is how i reproduce the errors

First, set up the project

meteor create test-autoform --release 1.6.1.1
cd test-autoform
meteor add aldeed:collection2 aldeed:autoform
meteor npm install --save simpl-schema

=>aldeed:autoform@6.3.0 =>aldeed:collection2@3.0.0 =>“simpl-schema”: “^1.5.0”

Add a little bit of code

// main.js
import SimpleSchema from 'simpl-schema'
BookSchema = new SimpleSchema({
  title: {type: String}
})
Books = new Mongo.Collection('Books')
Books.attachSchema(BookSchema)

// main.html
{{> quickForm collection="Books" id="insertBookForm" type="insert"}}

and then the errors

Hi guys

i’ve found the solution use npm “simpl-schema”: “^1.4.3” instead of 1.5

and make sure you have no meteor-simple-schema deps with others packages (ex meteortoys:allthings)

I’ve opened pull request in simple-schema-js package which hopefully will solve this issue aldeed/simple-schema-js#306

quickform still doesn’t work for me autoform works when it is like that:

{{#each afFieldNames }}
	{{> afQuickField name=this.name}}
{{/each}}

@Pierre-Mike, what worked for me was to change to aldeed:autoform@6.3.0, “simpl-schema”: “^1.4.2” make sure simpleschema is not installed and packages like meteortoys:allthings which requires simpleschema is also removed. Also try to run npm install to make sure you have the simpl-schema installed to correct version.
