Running single karma test fails with mongoose error MissingSchemaError: Schema hasn't been registere

[Venci Vatashki]

I am using latest development master branch of meanjs with WebStorm for IDE. Last version of WebStorm support running/debugging single karma test from IDE. Unfortunately meanjs breaks with a mongoose error "MissingSchemaError: Schema hasn't been registered for model "User"."

This should be something with js order of parsing file/ missing require() call/ or not providing karma.conf.js.

This is the new call that fails:

"C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" C:\projects\node\meanjs\node_modules\mocha\bin\_mocha --ui bdd --reporter "C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\WebStorm 11.0\plugins\NodeJS\js\mocha-intellij\lib\mochaIntellijReporter.js" C:/projects/node/meanjs/modules/articles/tests/server/article.server.model.tests.js --grep "Article Model Unit Tests\: Method Save should be able to save without problems$"

You can safely remove --reporter option if you don't have WebStorm.  It will fail again :)

Running karma:unit grunt task works:

"C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" C:\projects\node\meanjs\node_modules\grunt-cli\bin\grunt --gruntfile C:\projects\node\meanjs\gruntfile.js karma:unit

Error stack trace is 

C:\projects\node\meanjs\node_modules\mongoose\lib\index.js:333

      throw new mongoose.Error.MissingSchemaError(name);

            ^

MissingSchemaError: Schema hasn't been registered for model "User".

Use mongoose.model(name, schema)

Thanks for any feedback

Hi,

You need to start the database before inserting the model, then to resolve that use this:

var connection = require (your connection file),

then in your main method:

connection.on("connected", function(ref) {

//Add your var model

}

Regards.
