$auth not determining logged in status properly

[kimchirichie]

Following 1.3.2 doc & 1.3.6 doc I've tried denying access to non-admin to a page.

resolve: {
    user: function($auth){
        return $auth.awaitUser(function(user){
            if (user.admin) {
                return true;
            } else {
                return 'Access Denied';
            }
        });
    }
}

The problem is, $auth does not properly determine if the user is logged in or not. Even the following code did not determine the login status properly and denied access to the page.

resolve: {
    user: ($auth) => {
        return $auth.awaitUser();
    }
}

I tried copying the code in #22 :

resolve: {
    'currentUser': function ($q) {
        var defer = $q.defer();
        Meteor.autorun(c => {
            let loggingIn = Meteor.loggingIn();
            if (!loggingIn) {
                if (Meteor.userId()) {
                    console.log('user exists');
                    defer.resolve();
                } else {
                    console.log('user doesnt');
                    defer.reject();
                }
                c.stop();
            }
        });
        return defer.promise;

    }
}

This determined the user login status as expected.

After doing a lot of trial & error, it seems like this is only because Meteor.user() is null when page is refreshed.

My solution was to just wait it out until Meteor.user() has time to load.

resolve: {
    admin: function ($q) {
        var defer = $q.defer();
        Meteor.setTimeout(function(){
            var user = Meteor.user();
            if(user && user.profile.role == 'admin'){
                console.log('admin found');
                defer.resolve()
            } else {
                if(user){
                    console.log(user);
                    console.log('user not admin');
                } else {
                    console.log('user not found');
                }
                defer.reject();
            }
        },500)
        return defer.promise;
    }
}
