collection name must be a String

[Andrew Barr]

I am using Mongoose with MongoHQ and when saving get an error 'collection name must be a String however I am not setting the collection name so Mongoose is using the name of the model by default. Any guidance would eb appreciated.

Thanks

Is it only MongoHQ or does it behave the same locally as well?

I currently have this model defined:

auditlog.js

var mongoose = require('mongoose');

var schema = new mongoose.Schema({ 

    date: { type: Date, default: Date.now }, 

    user: 'string', 

    action: 'string'  

});

var AuditLog = mongoose.model('AuditLog', schema);

module.exports.AuditLog = AuditLog;

and in my app.js

var mongoose = require("mongoose);
mongoose.connect('mongodb://user:pass...@linus.mongohq.com:10055/db_name');

mongoose.model('AuditLog', require('./models/auditlog')).AuditLog;

I then try to use the AuditLog like:

AuditLog.save({ 

      user: 'User Name', action: 'Did something in the application' 

    });

I have not tested locally, I have just started playing with nodejs and am using Cloud9 IDE.

Thanks in advance.

I worked this out .. user error: I was not creating the document from the model. Works now.

auditlog.js

var mongoose = require('mongoose');

var Schema = mongoose.Schema;

module.exports = function() {    

    var schema = new Schema({ 

        date: { type: Date, default: Date.now }, 

        user: 'string', 

        action: 'string'  

    }, { collection: 'log'});

    mongoose.model('AuditLog', schema);

};

app.js

var AuditLog = mongoose.model('AuditLog');

var logger = new AuditLog({ user: 'User name', action: 'This is an action'});

logger.save(function (err) {});

Thanks
