Exception "Sync API Umbrella Users and API Backends" Error: Server is required

[brylie]

When starting Meteor on the develop branch, I am getting an error:

Error: Server is required

The error seems to be related to the server/methods/apiBackends.js:15:23, which is the syncApiBackends method.

SyncedCron produces the same error, when I comment out the initial Meteor.call("syncApiBackends") in startup.js:16:

@frenchbread, can you please look into this error? I am not sure what has changed recently to regress the syncApiBackends method.

[frenchbread]

@brylie Had the same error. In develop branch it somehow fixed itself after couple of server launches, but in feature/api-config-import, in apiBackend Schema file I updated server and matching fields as optional. This could actually fix develop branch as well. Seems like hotfix needed.

[brylie]

Ah, this seems like a bug with API Umbrella then. Or at least, the REST API may not be returning all fields perhaps?

[brylie]

@frenchbread the keys server and matching may be invalid. API Umbrella uses servers and url_matches for those fields.

[frenchbread]

@brylie Agree, this could be an error on API Umbrella side. Since everything worked before and suddenly started to crash.

[brylie]

Well, it seems to be on our side, since we recently changed the schema required fields while our schema does not match the API Umbrella Backend model.

I updated the schema in my open pull request #345. Merging this pull request should hopefully resolve this problem.
