Meteor-files: Best way to add test files during a chimp test

[schlaegerz]

I have been looking through the documentation and I am having trouble generating test files on the server for my tests.

If I try to do it on the client I get a bunch of errors about how different things are defined, and if I do it in a server method I get an error saying "insert" is not defined.

So is there a way to insert a file directly into the collection on the server?

I want to insert one empty file, and one file from a relative path so that I can use them in my tests.

Hello @schlaegerz ,

I'm very sorry for the late reply 🙏🏻.
Yes, there is __no__ method .insert() __on__ Server, as .insert() is __the upload__, and possible only from Client to Server. I recommend to take a look on .write() and .addFile() methods.

Let me know wdyt.
