Cast to ObjectId failed for value _id

[tobkle]

Steps to reproduce

I tested now a lot of boilerplates including featherjs-mongoose. But with all examples I get the same error everytime I want to call a record by its _id:

Also with the example in this repository in folder example with the message service. As soon as I call
GET http://localhost:3030/messages/586cef705308f8134b12b7ef

I get this error: "Cast to ObjectId failed for value _id"

Tried also to cast it in the hook, but the error comes before the hook is processed.

@tobkle can you post some code or a link to a repo?

[daffl]

That would definitely be helpful. It's probably something with the setup (or your MongoDB version), I ran the example and it looks like it is working.

[tobkle]

It was the code of this repository, I've just started the example of this repo. So no other code involved.

But after some hours I switched my node version with nvm to node 6.9.0, did a fresh git clone of the repo, restarted iterm2, chrome and notebook and suddenly it worked. So it must have been the node version.

So I suppose I close it, as it is working now. Sorry to bother you.

Glad you got it worked out.
