Mongoose ObjectId not be recognised as _id in create

[hcbh96]

@daffl I've been slightly spamming slack and I really apologise for that.

I've commented on another issue but thought I should open another one in case people have the same problem in the future

I am currently able to create one MongoDB user, along with an _id of type ObjectId,

I am able to authenticate my user and use that authentication to fetch the list of users, this is a user object.

{` "total": 1, "limit": 10, "skip": 0, "data": [ { "_id": "5a9a8c3e4b0aac22847635fe", "updatedAt": "2018-03-03T11:51:26.171Z", "createdAt": "2018-03-03T11:51:26.171Z", "email": "test@test.com", "__v": 0 } ] `}

What i am not able to do is create a new user as each time I try I get an error code of 409 with the following response

{ "name": "Conflict", "message": "id: null already exists.", "code": 409, "className": "conflict", "errors": { "id": null } }

I am really sorry for sending so many messages on this, I just really want and need to get my head around what is going on. Thank you very much for providing any insight

Please share a repository that reproduces your issue. I don't see id in the code samples but it looks like it has been added as a unique constraint.

Thank you so much, I've transferred it from bitbucket to GitHub, hopefully, sooner or later I can give back to the community

[daffl]

Do you have any other changes you made? The repository just looks like a unmodified generated application.

@daffl Sorry I forgot to push the verify phone branch up, it is now there.

I've managed to work around it, the error was being caused by an index that I must have previously created and attached to the collection. I solved the issue by dropping the collection completely and then restarting it. The error I was getting was the same as the one mentioned in this post Automattic/mongoose#2471 . Thank you very much though @daffle and sorry to have been a pain.

👍 Glad you figured it out.
