Node.js Express mongoose query find - debugging

I have a little problem with Express and mongoose using Node.js . I pasted the code in pastebin, for a better visibility.
Here is the app.js: http://pastebin.com/FRAFzvjR
Here is the routes/index.js: http://pastebin.com/gDgBXSy6
Since the db.js isn't big, I post it here:
var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
Schema = mongoose.Schema;
module.exports = function () {
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test',
function(err) {
if (err) { throw err; }
}
);
};
var User = new Schema({
username: {type: String, index: { unique: true }},
mdp: String
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('User', User);
As you can see, I used the console.log to debug my app, and I found that, in routes/index.js, only the a appeared. That's weird, it's as if the script stopped (or continue without any response) when
userModel.findOne({username: req.body.username}, function(err, data)
is tried.
Any idea?

You never connect to your database. Your connect method is within the db.export, but that is never called as a function from your app.
Also, you are overwriting your module.exports - if you want multiple functions/classes to be exported, you must add them as different properties of the module.export object. ie.:
module.export.truthy = function() { return true; }
module.export.falsy = function() { return false; }
When you then require that module, you must call the function (trueFalse.truthy();) in order to get the value. Since you never execute the function to connect to your database, you are not recieveing any data.

A couple of things real quick.
Make sure you're on the latest mongoose (2.5.3). Update your package.json and run npm update.
Try doing a console.log(augments) before your if (err). It's possible that an error is happening.
Are you sure you're really connecting to the database? Try explicitly connecting at the top of your file (just for testing) mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/my_database');
I'll update if I get any other ideas.

IndexedDB breaks in Firefox after trying to save autoIncremented Blob

I am trying to implement Blob storage via IndexedDB for long Media recordings.
My code works fine in Chrome and Edge (not tested in Safari yet) - but won't do anything in Firefox. There are no errors, it just doesn't try to fulfill my requests past the initial DB Connection (which is successful). Intuitively, it seems that the processing is blocked by something. But I don't have anything in my code which would be blocking.
Simplified version of the code (without heavy logging and excessive error checks which I have added trying to debug):
const dbName = 'recording'
const storeValue = 'blobs'
let connection = null
const handler = window.indexedDB || window.mozIndexedDB || window.webkitIndexedDB
function connect() {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const request = handler.open(dbName)
request.onupgradeneeded = (event) => {
const db = event.target.result
if (db.objectStoreNames.contains(storeValue)) {
db.deleteObjectStore(storeValue)
}
db.createObjectStore(storeValue, {
keyPath: 'id',
autoIncrement: true,
})
}
request.onerror = () => {
reject()
}
request.onsuccess = () => {
connection = request.result
connection.onerror = () => {
connection = null
}
connection.onclose = () => {
connection = null
}
resolve()
}
})
}
async function saveChunk(chunk) {
if (!connection) await connect()
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const store = connection.transaction(
storeValue,
'readwrite'
).objectStore(storeValue)
const req = store.add(chunk)
req.onsuccess = () => {
console.warn('DONE!') // Fires in Chrome and Edge - not in Firefox
resolve(req.result)
}
req.onerror = () => {
reject()
}
req.transaction.oncomplete = () => {
console.warn('DONE!') // Fires in Chrome and Edge - not in Firefox
}
})
}
// ... on blob available
await saveChunk(blob)
What I tried so far:
close any other other browser windows, anything that could count as on "open connection" that might be blocking execution
refresh Firefox profile
let my colleague test the code on his own machine => same result
Additional information that might useful:
Running in Nuxt 2.15.8 dev environment (localhost:3000). Code is used in the component as a Mixin. The project is rather large and uses a bunch of different browser APIs. There might be some kind of collision ?! This is the only place where we use IndexedDB, though, so to get to the bottom of this without any errors being thrown seems almost impossible.
Edit:
When I create a brand new Database, there is a brief window in which Transactions complete fine, but after some time has passed/something triggered, it goes back to being queued indefinitely.
I found out this morning when I had this structure:
...
clearDatabase() {
// get the store
const req = store.clear()
req.transaction.oncomplete = () => console.log('all good!')
}
await this.connect()
await this.clearDatabase()
'All good' fired. But any subsequent requests were broken same as before.
On page reload, even the clearDatabase request was broken again.
Something breaks with ongoing usage.
Edit2:
It's clearly connected to saving a Blob instance without an id with the autoIncrement option. Not only does it fail silently, it basically completely corrupts the DB. If I manually assign an incrementing ID to a Blob object, it works! If I leave out the id field for a regular simple object, it also works! Anyone knows about this? I feel like saving blobs is a common use-case so this should have been found already?!
I've concluded, unless proven otherwise, that it's a Firefox bug and opened a ticket on Bugzilla.
This happens with Blobs but might also be true for other instances. If you find yourself in the same situation there is a workaround. Don't rely on autoIncrement and assign IDs manually before trying to save them to the DB.

beforeSave doesn't modify request.object

I'm trying to add some additional attributes for new user through cloud code:
Parse.Cloud.beforeSave(Parse.User, (request) => {
if (!request.original) {
// New user
Parse.Config.get()
.then((config) => {
const ProfileIcon = Parse.Object.extend("ProfileIcon");
const iconId = config.get("defaultProfileIcon");
const user = request.object;
// ...many user.set
user.set("profileIcon", ProfileIcon.createWithoutData(iconId), {
useMasterKey: true,
}); // Pointer
// This will save as expected, but cause recursion
// user.save({ useMasterKey: true });
})
.catch((err) => {
console.error(err);
});
}
});
The code above triggered and executed without any error, but when I check the database, none of my custom attributes show up. Passing the master key also does nothing. How can I fix this?
Or is it because the request from the client (Android, have no access to master key), if so then how can I set master key for the request, since Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey() is deprecated?
Here, modifying object on save does not mention anything about return, but before save file does. So I thought I would give it a try, turns out it worked. Still not sure if this is the right way though.

Parse Cloud Code Queries do not return anything ever

I have some parse cloud code im running on my self hosted server but im running into an issue where queries are not doing anything. I can run commands through terminal and get data back but when I run a query.find.. nothing happens. For Example:
Parse.Cloud.job("getall", function(request, response) {
var itemStatus = Parse.Object.extend('MovieStatus');
var query = new Parse.Query(itemStatus);
query.find({
success: function(results) {
console.log(results.length)
response.success(results.length);
},
error: function(err) {
response.error(err);
},
useMasterKey : true
})
})
Nothing happens. No error no response. I have added console logs to make sure its at least getting called and it is, but for some reason nothing every returns from the server when I do query.find
I have tried all sorts of things to figure out what the issue is but this affects all of my cloud code so it has to be something in there.
You are using an old syntax. Since version 3.0, Parse Server supports async/await style. Try this:
Parse.Cloud.job("getall", async request => {
​const { log, message } = request;
const ItemStatus = Parse.Object.extend('MovieStatus');
const query = new Parse.Query(ItemStatus);
const results = await query.find({ useMasterKey: true });
log(response.length);
message(response.length);
})
Not this is a job and not a cloud code function. You can invoke this job using Parse Dashboard and you should see the message in the job status section.

Parse, JS Updates in Real Time

I have the following code, where I have a myBool (a boolean) in my Data Browser initially set to false,
however sometime while I'm still viewing my page I have code set to turn it to true.
How can I make a real time update that will automatically hide my #div when myBool turns to true?
var myBool = currentUser.get("myBool");
if(myBool) {
$('#div').hide();
}
I did some research and found that the Parse.Cloud.afterSave() function may be useful, but I don't see how it will update the content automatically?
Hope I've been clear!
Thanks.
Edit:
Possibly something like this in my main.js?
Parse.Cloud.afterSave("setBool", function() {
var query = new Parse.Query(Parse.Installation);
query.equalTo('myBool', true);
Parse.Push.send({
where: query,
}, {
success: function() {
$('#div').hide();
},
error: function(error) {
$('#div').show();
}
});
});
Your problem with your afterSave function is that your calling it for a function rather than a class.
AfterSave is called after an object from a certain class is saved. If your bool
Parse.Cloud.afterSave(Parse.Installation, function(request) {
// Send push here, use request to target correct user
});
Additionally your push listener should be the one modifying the divs, not the CloudCode.

Proper separation of concerns natively in node.js?

I am a total node.js noobie and trying to figure out the best way to structure my application with proper separation of concerns.
I am using mongodb via mongoose and have successfully gotten my controllers separated out using node.js modules and am trying to then separate out my models. What I've gone appears to work, but when I check the database nothing has been saved. Also, I tried a console.log() in the save function and nothing gets logged.
from my server.js I have:
app.post(api.urlslug + '/messages', messagesapi.insert);
I then have a /controllers/api/messages.js:
var m = require('../../models/message');
exports.index = function(req, res, next){
res.send('all the messages...');
}
exports.insert = function(req, res, next){
var message;
message = new m.Message({
messagebody: req.body.messagebody
});
message.save(function(err) {
console.log('here we are in the save');
if(!err) {
return console.log('message created');
} else {
return console.log(err);
}
});
return res.send(message);
}
and my /models/message.js looks like this:
// required modules
var mongoose = require('mongoose')
, db = require('../models/db');
// setup database connection
mongoose.connect(db.connectionstring());
var Message = exports.Message = mongoose.model('Message', new mongoose.Schema({
messagebody: String
}));
When I post to the API I get a the proper JSON back and it even has the _id field with what appears to me as a mongodb provided unique id. With that, I am having trouble understanding why it is not actually going into mongodb if it appears to be creating the object and communicating with mongodb correctly.
sounds like a connection is not being made. try listening to the open/error events of the default mongoose connection to find out why.
function log (msg) { console.log('connection: ', msg) }
mongoose.connection.on('open', log);
mongoose.connection.on('error', log);
