Route returning blank page [METEOR] - meteor

Question

I am trying to create a route for a user profile page, but when I visit the route it shows up as a completely blank page and with no errors in the terminal. Nothing whatsoever is shown, including static HTML. Here's the code:
routes.js
Router.route('/user/:_id', function () {
this.render('user');
}, {
name: 'user',
data: function(){
return Users.findOne({_id: this.params._id})
}
});
user.html
<template name="user">
<p>hello</p>
</template>
At the moment, I am using the default user accounts package and have not added any publication or subscription code.

Answer 1

Are you sure Users is an existing collection?

In that case, with autopublish enabled, your problem is probably solved by changing
data: function(){
return Users.findOne({_id: this.params._id})
}
into:
data: function(){
return Meteor.users.findOne({_id: this.params._id})
}
although it's strange this doesn't throw an error in your console...

Not sure if this is the reason, but I think that with multiple options for the route, you should incapsulate this.render in an action parameter. Something like this:
Router.route('/user/:_id', {
name: 'user',
data: function() {
return Users.findOne({_id: this.params._id})
},
action: function () {
this.render('user');
}
});

I get an error in the terminal: "Users is not defined":

In your data function, try substituting Meteor.users.findOne({_id: this.params._id})
If you fix the HackPad I listed, Meteor.users won't work since the current version of HackPad doesn't support a late enough version of Meteor with Meteor.users. However, if you comment out your data function, you should at least see the page.
