Object # <Promise> has no 'catch' method
My lib user has the following code to register
function register {
// do some validation on lib level
//user is instance of user collection
user.save()
.then(function(error,records, numberOfRecords) {
// got any kind of error
if (error) {
next('fail',msg,{error_code : 510, exception : ex} )
return ;
}
next('success','good', records );
})
.catch(function(ex) {
var msg = ex.message;
error = ex
system.log.error(msg);
next('fail',msg,{error_code : 510, exception : ex} );
}).done();
}
In my mongooes models, I have implemented middleware
User.pre('save', function (next) {
// just checking error is available in catch schope or not
var err = new Error('I am doing some experiment on it');
next(err);
});
var Promise = require('bluebird');
var User = mongoose.model('User');
Promise.promisifyAll(User);
Promise.promisifyAll(User.prototype);
Getting the next problem
TypeError: Object #<Promise> has no method 'catch'

My question is:
How do I solve this problem?
How can I catch the error from mongooes middleware in my lib (catch) function?

You don't seem to be using Bluebird, but mongoose promises ( mpromise ) that doesn't use "t has a method.catch
.
You can fix this with
- using
user.saveAsync().then(…)
as you defused the modelUser
- using
Promise.resolve(user.save()).then(…)
to send the promise of a mongoose to a bluebird.
