What version of mongoose are you using? Also, got any code to look at?

[riyazpanarwala]

"mongoose": "^5.2.0",
"nodemailer": "^4.6.7",

[riyazpanarwala]

i am using same code as per examples in this module.

[joshbenz1]

That's what I was guessing. The project dependency is mongoose 3.8 . So a lot has changed between 3.8 and 5.2 lol. They need to update to 5.2 but it will probably take some work to do so. Otherwise, you gotta downgrade to 3.8. there is another issue I saw, issue # 83, whose problem is also caused by this.

[riyazpanarwala]

It will be great if you upgrade the version because i can use mongoose for other things too in my project,

[riyazpanarwala]

I have updated package.json of this module to

"mongoose": "^5.2.2",
"nodemailer": "^4.6.7",

And it works with mongo 4.x.

However i need to add this line { validateBeforeSave: false }, when confirming temp user to real user.

user.save({ validateBeforeSave: false }, function(err, savedUser) {}
