_doc property

[Davis Ford]

Hi, I have a Schema defined in one module, and in another module, I modify the Schema and add mongoose-auth support to it.

When a user is returned from User.where('email', email).findOne( function (err, user) {

...the object structure looks like below.  I have to dig into the _doc property to get at the real model properties -- why is this?  I'm wondering if something is mis-configured b/c of the mongoose-auth manipulation.  The user docs indicate that _doc is an internal property not to be directly manipulated which leads me to believe something about what I am doing is wrong.

1. _activePaths: Object
2. _doc: Object
3. _events: Object
4. _maxListeners: 0
5. _posts: Object
6. _pres: Object
7. _saveError: null
8. _selected: undefined
9. _shardval: undefined
10. _strictMode: false
11. _validationError: null
12. errors: undefined
13. isNew: false
14. save: function () { var self = this , hookArgs // arguments eventually passed to the hook - …
15. __proto__: Object

How are you logging the doc to see that? Using console.log should hide the internals. If not then yeah something is up.

I was debugging with node-inspector after I tried to dereference a property that I expected to be there, and a null reference was encountered.

So, I fired up node-inspector and inspected it in the debugger.  If I do model.toObject() it converts it to an object with the properties, but then I lose all the model functionality (e.g. model.save( ) is no longer available).

See line 41/42 of this gist https://gist.github.com/2653658

I was expecting user to have .google property as it is added by the mongoose-auth plugin.  It is only available on user._doc.google

I think the problem might be on line 29 - perhaps I should be newing up a User instead returning the object that is created from the other module.export?

so it sounds like an issue with everyauth? from what i can tell mongoose auth should add .google.email etc to your schema.

Well, the thing is, if I merge all this code into the same module, the problem goes away, so it has to be something about the way I have split it up and exported / imported it.
