Error

MongooseError constructor. MongooseError is the base class for all Mongoose-specific errors.

Example:

const Model = mongoose.model('Test', new mongoose.Schema({ answer: Number }));
const doc = new Model({ answer: 'not a number' });
const err = doc.validateSync();

err instanceof mongoose.Error.ValidationError; // true

An instance of this error class will be returned when mongoose failed to cast a value.

An instance of this error will be returned if you used an array projection and then modified the array in an unsafe way.

An instance of this error class will be returned when save() fails because the underlying document was not found. The constructor takes one parameter, the conditions that mongoose passed to updateOne() when trying to update the document.

Thrown when you try to access a model that has not been registered yet

Thrown when the MongoDB Node driver can't connect to a valid server to send an operation to.

Thrown when a model with the given name was already registered on the connection. See the FAQ about OverwriteModelError.

An instance of this error class will be returned when you call save() multiple times on the same document in parallel. See the FAQ for more information.

Thrown when your try to pass values to model constructor that were not specified in schema or change immutable properties when strict mode is "throw"

An instance of this error class will be returned when mongoose failed to populate with a path that is not existing.

An instance of this error class will be returned when validation failed. The errors property contains an object whose keys are the paths that failed and whose values are instances of CastError or ValidationError.

A ValidationError has a hash of errors that contain individual ValidatorError instances.

Example:

const schema = Schema({ name: { type: String, required: true } });
const Model = mongoose.model('Test', schema);
const doc = new Model({});

// Top-level error is a ValidationError, **not** a ValidatorError
const err = doc.validateSync();
err instanceof mongoose.Error.ValidationError; // true

// A ValidationError `err` has 0 or more ValidatorErrors keyed by the
// path in the `err.errors` property.
err.errors['name'] instanceof mongoose.Error.ValidatorError;

err.errors['name'].kind; // 'required'
err.errors['name'].path; // 'name'
err.errors['name'].value; // undefined

Instances of ValidatorError have the following properties:

• kind: The validator's type, like 'required' or 'regexp'
• path: The path that failed validation
• value: The value that failed validation

An instance of this error class will be returned when you call save() after the document in the database was changed in a potentially unsafe way. See the versionKey option for more information.

The default built-in validator error messages.

The name of the error. The name uniquely identifies this Mongoose error. The possible values are:

• MongooseError: general Mongoose error
• CastError: Mongoose could not convert a value to the type defined in the schema path. May be in a ValidationError class' errors property.
• DivergentArrayError: You attempted to save() an array that was modified after you loaded it with a $elemMatch or similar projection
• MissingSchemaError: You tried to access a model with mongoose.model() that was not defined
• DocumentNotFoundError: The document you tried to save() was not found
• ValidatorError: error from an individual schema path's validator
• ValidationError: error returned from validate() or validateSync(). Contains zero or more ValidatorError instances in .errors property.
• MissingSchemaError: You called mongoose.Document() without a schema
• ObjectExpectedError: Thrown when you set a nested path to a non-object value with strict mode set.
• ObjectParameterError: Thrown when you pass a non-object value to a function which expects an object as a paramter
• OverwriteModelError: Thrown when you call mongoose.model() to re-define a model that was already defined.
• ParallelSaveError: Thrown when you call save() on a document when the same document instance is already saving.
• StrictModeError: Thrown when you set a path that isn't the schema and strict mode is set to throw.
• VersionError: Thrown when the document is out of sync
