meteor - Why do these collection objects only contain _id? -

i have number of collections publishing client, 1 being stubborn:

on db there collection 'cargoes'. collection contains 2 documents, , have number of fields.

// in /lib/collections/cargoes.js cargoes = new meteor.collection('cargoes'); 

on server side we're publishing /server/server.js

meteor.publish('cargoes', function() { return cargoes.find(); } ); 

on client side we're subscribed in /client/main.js

meteor.subscribe('cargoes'); 

when type in cargoes.find().fetch(); in browser's (client's) console, 2 objects have correct _id values of objects expect back, but no other fields.

any ideas of going wrong, or how debug this?

edit1 - fixed typo in code, publish has had return, missed when entered on stackoverflow.

your publish function isn't giving back

meteor.publish('cargoes', function() {     return cargoes.find();  }); 

-- update -- if isnt working, double check objects valid via mongo shell. meteor mongo or mrt mongo . ensure object doesnt have field named "length" . ensure can find().fetch() objects on server :

in file /server/main.js:

if ( meteor.isserver ) {   console.log(cargoes.findone());     }
