First change made to an item inside a meteorCollection after an update from server is not pushed to server

[cnelson711]

The first change to an array is only registered locally and not pushed to the server if I use a $meteor.collection and try to push to an array that is a member of an item in the collection (I'm NOT saving or removing a new party from the collection, but editing an array that is a member of a party),

I've pasted my code below.

party.ng.js
============
angular.module('parties', ['angular-meteor', 'ui.router']);
angular.module('parties').controller('PartyController', function($scope, $meteor) {
    var ctrl = this;

    ctrl.newPartyName = "";
    ctrl.parties = $meteor.collection(Parties);

    ctrl.createParty = function() {
        ctrl.parties.save({
            name: ctrl.newPartyName,
            randomNumbers: []
        });
        ctrl.newLeagueName = '';
    };

    // Join a league (submit a request to join)
    ctrl.addToPartyArray = function(party) {
        party.randomNumbers.push(Math.random());
    };

    ctrl.removeFromPartyArray = function(party) {
        party.randomNumbers.splice(0, 1);
    };
});

index.ng.html
================
<div ng-controller="PartyController as partyCtrl">
    <ul>
        <li ng-repeat="party in partyCtrl.parties">{{party.name}}
            <p ng-repeat="num in party.randomNumbers">{{num}}</p>

            <button type="submit" ng-click="partyCtrl.addToPartyArray(party)">Add Random Num</button>
            <button type="submit" ng-click="partyCtrl.removeFromPartyArray(party)">Remove Random Num</button>
        </li>
    </ul>

    <form name="createPartyForm" ng-submit="createPartyForm.$valid && partyCtrl.createParty()" novalidate>
        <input ng-model="partyCtrl.newPartyName" type="text" placeholder="Party Name" required>
        <button type="submit" ng-class="{ disabled : !createLeagueForm.$valid }">Create Party</button>
    </form>
</div>

You can see the issue if you open two browser windows to http://issue345.meteor.com and click the Add/Remove Random Number buttons.

Did you subscribed to the collection somewhere?
I don't see any kind of a subscription.

Please check the example in docs: http://angular-meteor.com/api/meteorCollection

In your case it should be something like

  // Bind without auto-save all todos to $scope.notAutoTodos
 ctrl.parties = $meteor.collection(Parties).subscribe("parties");

Did that helped?

@LukaVent, I'm using the autopublish package in the example (there's no need for a subscribe method if my server publishes nothing, right?). In anycase, I tried adding the subscribe to no avail.

@cnelson711 I think I understand to problem.
Hopefully tomorrow I will ship a fix

[cnelson711]

Sweet. You probably know more than I do, but I think it has something to do with:

Line 256
angular-meteor-meteorCollection.js

if (oldItems == 'UPDATING_FROM_SERVER')
              oldItems = realOldItems;

if (newItems !== oldItems) {
              diffArray(oldItems, newItems, {

Stepping through when I add a new item, realOldItems looks exactly the same as newItems (though they don't pass the !== operator)... I feel like realOldItems is supposed to be equal to the previous value of the items, and it's not.

@cnelson711 solved, please try with the latest code.
Also, it will be great if you can add a test for it!
