Error when calling ".can(role)"

[riveraser]

This is what I am getting:

//Printing permissions
console.log(ac.getGrants());

{ ADMIN: 
   { customers: 
      { 'create:any': [Object],
        'delete:any': [Object],
        'read:any': [Object] }
      }
}

But when I do

var permission = ac.can(userRole).readAny('customers');

I am getting this error: (userRole is ADMIN)

When I test var permission = ac.can('ADMIN').readAny('customers');, this works with the grants you've given. See this test on runkit.

Are you sure your variable userRole is actually set to "ADMIN"? Can you do console.log(userRole) right before the line where you check for permission and see?

It seems you're calling for a non-existing role.

Also, make sure you're using the latest version (v1.5.2 as of now).

Hi, thanks for the fast reply and you are right, I had a TYPO in "userRole" var :-(

[onury]

no worries.

Actually this should throw with a message indicating that the role is not found. Will be in the next release.
