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'
    at User.register (/server/core/modules/user.js:69:10)
    at router.post.http.request (/server/routes/user.js:55:8)

    at next (/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:261:10)
    at /server/router.js:45:3

      

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.
