Getting error in mongodb cast issue for valid object id

Question

My code was working fine but after taking fresh code I am getting this error but as I can see my id is valid Object Id

Cast to ObjectId

Answer 1

You have to cast the data to mongodb object id. If you are using mongoose, you can actually do these below.

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const ObjectId = mongoose.Types.ObjectId;

[your_mongodb_model/collection].query({ _id: ObjectId(id) });

or simply, you can do these,

[your_mongodb_model].query({ _id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId(id) });

Answer 2

The reason for this error is documented in this mongoose issue. A workaround is to downgrade to mongoose version <= 4.7.2 or use Node version >=6.
