Duplicate key errors not correctly reporting (no Meteor.Error) about meteor-collection2

[coagmano]

I think server side errors are 500s by default to limit information exposure, but you can overwrite this behaviour in SimpleSchema by using the transform hook to allow it:

SimpleSchema.defineValidationErrorTransform(error => {
    const ddpError = new Meteor.Error(error.message);
    ddpError.error = 'validation-error';
    ddpError.details = error.details;
    return ddpError;
});

I'm not 100% sure on this though, but this snippet is what we use so 🤷‍♂

@coagmano : I already tried to include this on server startup without success. It seems the Error is not processed by SimpleSchema. As you can see in my example, my method ends up with an exception coming directly from npm-mongo library.

If this can help, the application code is here: https://gitlab.mim-libre.fr/alphabet/laboite

schema is defined in app/imports/api/groups/groups.js
the methods called are createGroup and updateGroup from app/imports/api/groups/methods.js
there are unit tests in app/imports/api/groups/server/groups.tests.js (you can search for E11000 duplicate key).
