为什么这个node.js + mongoose代码没有保存到DB？

Question

I'm learning Node.js + mongodb using a simple tutorial - the problem is that I can't get it to save().

This is the code I'm running:

mongoose = require('mongoose'),
    Schema = mongoose.Schema;

PostSchema = new Schema({
    title: String,
    body: String,
    date: Date
});

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/posterdb');
mongoose.model('Post', PostSchema);
var Post = mongoose.model('Post');

// create a post and save it
var post = new Post();

post.title = 'My first post';
post.body = 'Post body';
post.date = Date.now();

post.save(function(err) {
    console.log('error check');
    if(err) { throw err; }
    console.log('saved');
    mongoose.disconnect();
});

It doesn't print anything on the console. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Turns out my mongodb server wasn't running because I didn't have a /data/db directory installed by default upon installing mongo in ubuntu. Created that, started the server, everything worked fine. Solved.

Answer 2

If anyone found this question for the same reason I did, then maybe this will help:

Found that I couldn't save a new object to my collection. I had made a schema method named validate() which interfered with MongoDB's validate() function, so that's why it wasn't saving to the DB and was giving me zero errors. So don't name a method in your schema entitled validate(). Hopefully my dumbness will save you a lot of time.
