How to obtain clientAddress?

In the basic methods definitions you can fetch the client connection details via simple this.connection....

How to fetch the clientAddress when using the ValidatedMethod wrapper?

Should work the same way inside the 'run' method - can you post some code?

[vmptk]

export const logMessage = new ValidatedMethod({
name: "logMessage",
validate: new SimpleSchema({
type: {type: String, optional: false},
message: {type: String, optional: false}
}).validator(),
run({type, message}){
let composedMessage = [${this.connection && this.connection.clientAddress || "127.0.0.1"}] ${message};
if (type === "ERROR") {
console.error(composedMessage);
} else {
console.log(composedMessage);
}
}
});

Weird, that should work. Let me add a test to make sure - will do today.

Was there a resolution to this problem? I have a method that works fine normally, but the this.connection is undefined. Thanks so much!

export const insertEmail = new ValidatedMethod({
  name: 'emails.insert',
  validate: new SimpleSchema({
    email: { type: String }
  }).validator(),
  run(email) {
    console.log(email);
    console.log(this.connection);
    Emails.insert({email: email.email, ip: this.connection.clientAddress});
  },
});

@CaptainChemist @VenelinPetkov
this.connection works only in the server side.
so you need to include your run function code inside a : if (Meteor.isServer) { }

run({type, message}){
if (Meteor.isServer) { 
let composedMessage = [${this.connection && this.connection.clientAddress || "127.0.0.1"}] ${message};
if (type === "ERROR") {
console.error(composedMessage);
} else {
console.log(composedMessage);
}
}
}

You will loose Latency Compensation but i guess it's not important in your case.

Cheers

Hmm, any way to fix this? Seems like there's no way to get clientAddress on the client at all, so maybe there's nothing we can do about it.
