Undefined id, impossible to use admin about forest-express-mongoose

Hi @Jolg42,

Could you share your the full schema (or a simpler version) in which this issue happens?
It would help us a lot to dig into this issue.

Thanks!

Hi @arnaudbesnier 😉

I'm gonna try again...!
I just updated all my packages to the latest versions.

The schema looks like

const mongoose = require('mongoose')

const schema = new mongoose.Schema({
  firstName: String,
  lastName: String,
  ...
  createdAt: {type: Date, default: Date.now},
  updatedAt: {type: Date, default: Date.now}
})

module.exports = mongoose.model('User', schema, 'Users')

And the id is stored in the "_id" field in Mongo

Here is what I can see in Forest for this id field:

But in the table view it's undefined everywhere...!
The ids from Mongo:

These ids are generated by https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server

Do you have an idea to make it work?

I just tried putting _id: String, in my schema and it worked. I guess the issue is that the ids are not native and ObjectId that should be the default doesn't work!

Solved!
