context.get('currentUser'); is not accessible from User.observe hook

@barocsi commented on Fri Jan 29 2016

I was trying to implement an access filter for my User method depending on the currently logged in user.
However, when I try to access, it is undefined:

User.observe('access', function inspectRoles(ctx, next) {
    var loopback = require('loopback');
    var context = loopback.getCurrentContext();
    var user = context.get('currentUser');
}

It works with other presistedModels operation hooks.

Hi @barocsi thanks for your contribution! And any question or suggestion are welcomed!
I am trying to reproduce the issue with access hook, are you adding it to your custom user model or the build-in User model in loopback?

Could you fork this sandbox and replace it with your code to prove the problem? Thanks!

This is a custom user model. I will check against the sandbox repo.

i am able to reproduce it with the snippet above:

Web server listening at: http://0.0.0.0:3000
Browse your REST API at http://0.0.0.0:3000/explorer
user: undefined

@bajtos any progress?

I don't know the details of CLS thing.
But if you are busy to resolve this, you can give me a hint, so i can contribute..

[bajtos]

@dehypnosis I think this may be a general problem of the CLS module we use in [email protected], most likely it's the async library that's breaking the CLS.

Could you please try the latest version of this module and check if the problem is still present? See Usage for instructions how to setup your app.

@dehypnosis @bajtos I was able to get the current user by following the details in Usage as pointed out by Miroslav while trying to reproduce juggler#1250 . If you need any help, please let me know.
