MongoDB and Mongoose - Create a Model

Backend Development
1

Tell us what’s happening:

My Code:

const personSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: { type: String, required: true },
  age: { type: Number },
  favoriteFoods: { type: [String] },
});

const Person = mongoose.model("Person", personSchema);

Getting this error:

[Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘modelName’)]

First test went without a hitch.
Tried discarding all changes and redoing the first and second challenge, same error.
Tried copying the repo again, same error.
I did fork it before copying, but it won’t let me copy it directly.

Any help is appreciated, thanks

When you run the tests, are you getting any console messages or entries in your database?

I just ran the test again to check and it passed.
Didn’t change anything since I posted on the forum. Glad you asked, or I wouldn’t have tried again for a while.

I guess, if your code doesn’t pass and you know it should, step away for a day and try again.
