Sequelize setter does not work

Question

I desperately try to call a simple setter method which seems to not exist.

Here is my modeldefinition:

var Process = Sequelize.MySql.define('Process',{
name: Sequelize.STRING,
description: Sequelize.TEXT,
duration: Sequelize.BIGINT,
status: {
    type: Sequelize.ENUM(pstatus.unassigned,pstatus.assigned,pstatus.inprocess,pstatus.stopped,pstatus.finished),
    defaultValue: pstatus.unassigned,
    set: function(v){
        console.log('Prozess status updated')
        if(!pstatus.hasOwnProperty(v)){
            return
        }

        this.setDataValue('status',v)
    }
}
}

Every call of process.setStatus(pStatus.inprocess) returns in a TypeError

Possibly unhandled TypeError: Object [object SequelizeInstance] has no method 'setStatus'

What am I missing here?

Answer 1

Setters are implemented as javascript setters

This means that the setter will be invoked when you assign to the property

process.status = 'done' // this invokes the setter
