Parse-server 2.1.7 - request.user returns null/undefined

[benishak]

I have a cloud afterSave/ ... function that is being called by the user from the App, inside the function I call

var currentUser = request.user;

but it returns undefined

On Parse.com I used Parse.User.currrent() which worked perfectly

We have lots of passing test cases that cover these features. Can you post some code that reliably reproduces your issue? Ideally as a test case we can add to our test suite.

in AfterSave
a User comment or like, the record is saved in the collection, afterSaving it, afterSave will read the record and send push notification ... etc, inside the afterSave I call request.user which returns null. the record contains a column called "fromUser" so right now i'm using currentUser = request.object.get("fromUser");

[benishak]

maybe request.user works only on the _User class ?

[hramos]

request.user will only point to a _User object when the function is triggered by an authenticated user.

Can you post some code that demonstrates the issue?

Please refer to this issue for an example of a great bug report.

Hi @hramos please take a look to #775. I wrote the whole code I'm using and still there's an issue
