Warning with _id on a Mongo model

[MaheshkumarSundaram]

Hi @neonexus,

This is more of a general question with a Sails model which uses MongoDB. I have a collection in a MongoDB which I have to read in my Sails webapp for display purposes.

Sails Model named clcDoc:

module.exports = {
    datastore: 'xxx',
    tableName: 'yyy',
    primaryKey: '_id',
    readOnly: true,

    attributes: {
        _id: {
            type: 'string',
            columnName: '_id',
            required: false,
        },

        name: {
            type: 'string',
            columnName: 'name',
            columnType: 'string',
        },

        // other attributes
    },
};

Sample Record:

Please note, these record are created outside Sails app. Here, we only read the records for display purposes.

Now, whenever I query the model, I get valid results BUT this annoying warning also pops up.

Warning: Records sent back from a database adapter should always have a valid property
that corresponds with the primary key attribute (`_id`).  But in this result set,
after transforming columnNames back to attribute names for model `clcdoc`,
there is a record with a missing or invalid `_id`.

I looked up this, but as suggested the type of _id is string eventhough for Mongo, itsObjectId which is already the case. I tried removing required, but doesn't help.

I am not sure what exactly is the problem. Do you have any idea about this?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry, this was my stupid mistake where by mistake, I have added dontUseObjectIds to the config.
