gridFsUpload "Cannot read property '2' of null"

[PCoetzeeDev]

Hi,

I need some help troubleshooting this server-side error:

Exception while invoking method 'gridFsUpload' TypeError: Cannot read property '2' of null
    at DataManBuffer.DataManDataURI (packages/cfs_data-man/packages/cfs_data-man.js:312:1)
    at new DataMan (packages/cfs_data-man/packages/cfs_data-man.js:64:1)
    at setData (packages/cfs_file/packages/cfs_file.js:107:1)
    at EventEmitter.fsFileAttachData [as attachData] (packages/cfs_file/packages/cfs_file.js:102:1)
    at EventEmitter.FS.File (packages/cfs_file/packages/cfs_file.js:25:1)
    at EventEmitter.FS.Collection.insert (packages/cfs_collection/packages/cfs_collection.js:267:1)
    at [object Object].Meteor.methods.gridFsUpload (server/methods.js:9:1)
    at maybeAuditArgumentChecks (livedata_server.js:1692:12)
    at livedata_server.js:708:19
    at [object Object]._.extend.withValue (packages/meteor/packages/meteor.js:1013:1)

Seeing the easy-security package is deprecated, I then removed it, but the error remained:

Exception while invoking method 'gridFsUpload' TypeError: Cannot read property '2' of null

Strange thing is, this only happens on mobile, not on desktop. Maybe I'm missing something with regards to async properties of gridFS? My server method:

'gridFsUpload' : function(imgSrc, post_id) {
        var url = '';

        var imgInsert = Images.insert(imgSrc, function (err, fileObj) {
            if (err){
                 // handle error
              } else {
                 // handle success depending what you need to do
                var insertedPost = Posts.find(post_id).fetch();
                local = insertedPost["0"].uploadSrc;
                local.push("/cfs/files/images/" + fileObj._id);

                var imagesURL = {
                  "uploadSrc": local
                };

                var updateResult = Posts.update(post_id, {$set: imagesURL});

                url = fileObj._id;
                return fileObj._id;
              }
          });

        return imgInsert;
    },

Thanks!

Did you solve this? I'm having the same problem...
