Meteor.users collection is undefined on server

What's wrong with this code? It's inside of a "server" folder. Line 11 here, is called out in the error log.

import { Accounts } from 'meteor/accounts-base';
import generatePincode from '../../../utils/generate-pincode';
import Meteor from 'meteor/meteor';

Accounts.onCreateUser((options, user) => {
  const customizedUser = Object.assign({
    'pincode': generatePincode(4),
  }, user);

  // check that the pincode doesn't already exist
  const existingUser = Meteor.users.findOne({
    'pincode': customizedUser.pincode,
  });
  if (existingUser) {
    throw new Meteor.Error(500,
      'Duplicate pincode generated, please try again.');
  }

  // We still want the default hook's 'profile' behavior.
  if (options.profile) {
    customizedUser.profile = options.profile;
  }
  return customizedUser;
});

The terminal (server) logs:

Exception while invoking method 'createUser' TypeError: Cannot read property 'findOne' of undefined

Your import Meteor line is incorrect, which means you're working with the default or namespace export. In the case of Meteor, that means you get an object with:

{
  Meteor: [Meteor object],
  global: [Window on client and global on server],
  meteorEnv: [env vars]
}

Try this to get Meteor directly:

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';

That should fix it.

If it doesn't, try meteor remove accounts-password and meteor add accounts-password again
