How to create a user with a verified email address in Meteor?

Question

In my server fixture, I'm populating the database with some test users using the Accounts.createUser function. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to flag the email of the created user as verified.

I've tried to set the verified flag directly but it doesn't work:

Meteor.users.findOne(userId).emails[0].verified = true

Answer 1

If you want to update your user and set the verified flag to true. Try this.

Meteor.users.update(userId, {$set: {"emails.0.verified" :true}});

This will update the first email in the emails: [] array.
