Can you use mongoose and mongodb services together?

[eddyystop]

My test app worked with 2 nedb plus 2 mongoose services. That original test threw after I added a mongodb service with the generator.

The problem seems to be that app.get('mongooseClient') now returns undefined. That value was being set outside my code when the test app worked.

I commented out the require and app.configure for the new mongodb service in src/services/index.js. That should have brought the app back to the way it was. However I was surprised to still get the same error.

Can an app use a mongoose and mongodb service together?

Edit: I now see app.get('mongooseClient') is set in src/mongodb.js

I reverted my code. Confirmed the test ran with only calls to the 2 mongoose collections. I then ran feathers generate service to add a mongoDB service. With no other changes, I reran the same test.

I got the same error as above.

When you create a mongoose service, src/mongodb.js is

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
module.exports = function () {
  const app = this;
  mongoose.connect(app.get('mongodb'));
  mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;
  app.set('mongooseClient', mongoose);
};

When you add a mongodb service, its overridden with

const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
module.exports = function () {
  const app = this;
  const config = app.get('mongodb');
  const promise = MongoClient.connect(config);
  app.set('mongoClient', promise);
};

So the generator does not support mongoose and mongo db clients simultaniously.

Just to confirm, the mongoose test run OK with the following. I assume the mongo will also.

'use strict';

const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
const mongoose = require('mongoose');

module.exports = function () {
  const app = this;
  const config = app.get('mongodb');
  
  const promise = MongoClient.connect(config);
  app.set('mongoClient', promise);
  
  mongoose.connect(config);
  mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;
  app.set('mongooseClient', mongoose);
};

This should be fixed already via #229. Did you have the latest version of feathers-cli?

[eddyystop]

The mongo test threw because the mongoDB setup does not wait for app.set('mongoClient', promise); to resolve.

This is really a separate issue so I created #253

Yup, the current feathers-cli handles this. Nice! Thanks.
