mongoose and gridfs-locking-stream interaction

[ghasemikasra39]

Sorry if the title is addressing gridfs-locking-stream and not gridfs-stream. I was using gridfs-locking-stream and had this problem:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49325749/mongoose-and-gridfs-locking-stream-interaction
I think gridfs-stream is not compatible with mongoose new version.
I've also created this issue on gridfs-locking-stream github page:
vsivsi/gridfs-locking-stream#5

Hello.

I also get the same error

Error: missing db argument new Grid(db, mongo)

Then if I replace with
``javascript
const conn = mongoose.connection

var Grid = require('gridfs-stream');
Grid.mongo = mongoose.mongo
const gfs = Grid(conn)
``

Then I get

"TypeError: Cannot read property 'readPreference' of null

I am using :

• "mongoose": "^5.0.9",
• MongoDB Version | 3.6.2
• "gridfs-stream": "^1.1.1"

Best regards,

Arn

my experience is i was using gridfs-stream with multer-gridfs-storage
for some reason mongoose:"^5.0" has issues with gridfs-stream when making connections and when i managed to make the connections multer-gridfs-stroage failed. so whatI resorted to was to use two mongoose versions in my application. At the end of the day i had different connections one to my GridFS and another to my mongoDatabase ; therefor i went on to use V5.0 for my mongodb and v4. for my GridFS. on how to install same packages of different version follow this https://gist.github.com/mnpenner/c46a5eff34cfa91f361a8b3baa249a10

for reference i have encountered this. two difference instances of this happened with my code --

1. mongo server isn't accessible for whatever reason

2. modified my connection code -->
   const conn = mongoose.createConnection('your URI');
   var gfs;
   conn.once('open', () => {
   gfs = Grid(conn.db, mongoose.mongo);
   })
   from const conn = mongoose.connection(...)

   "express": "^4.16.4",
   "gridfs-stream": "^1.1.1",
   "mongoose": "^5.4.5",

mongo DB v4.02

Good luck

Using the db object instead of the connection resolved my issue.
So instead of this:

var gfs;
var db = mongoose.connection;
db.on('error', console.error.bind(console, 'connection error:'));
db.once('open', function() {
  console.log("Connected!")
  var mongoDriver = mongoose.mongo;
  gfs = new Gridfs(db, mongoDriver);
});

To this

var gfs;
var connection = mongoose.connection;
connection.on('error', console.error.bind(console, 'connection error:'));
connection.once('open', function() {
  console.log("Connected!")
  var mongoDriver = mongoose.mongo;
  gfs = new Gridfs(connection.db, mongoDriver);
});

Thanks @kuzdogan This resolved my issue .

@kuzdogan Thank you very much, this works.
