TypeError: Cannot read property 'options' of undefined

mongoose 3.8.8

the following error is thrown when I update a PoTranslation model with the following schema:

var History = new Schema({
msgStr: String,
createdAt: Date,
createdBy: {
type: String,
ref: 'User'
}
});

var PoTranslation = new Schema({
histories: [History]
});

Im getting the same error too, using 4.9.7 and nothing wrong with my code.

`\node_modules\mongoose\lib\document.js:51
this.$__.strictMode = schema.options && schema.options.strict;
^

I have the same error with Mongoose v4.11.7 in es6. Here is my code:

import mongoose from 'mongoose';

const user_schema = mongoose.Schema({
  name: String
});

export default new mongoose.Model('User', user_schema);

[vkarpov15]

Why do you have the new in export default new mongoose.Mode('User', ...) ?

[EtienneR]

@kantlove Should be model instead of Model : http://mongoosejs.com/docs/models.html

[vkarpov15]

Good catch @EtienneR , will add an error for that

[plh97]

this.$__.strictMode = schema.options && schema.options.strict;
////can't found any way to fix this problem

[Mrinnaal]

@EtienneR That was apt! I was typing Model instead of model.
