when I try to add new items to an array inside a document I get this error. As far as I know, the item references do exist in the MongoDB database.
The error i get is:
[
"To resolve this issue please update or replace the document in MongoDB to make sure it abides by the schema.",
"Change Event Type: update",
"Namespace: app.CompanyLocation",
"Partition: dag1f7g7102aecdd3e9467711e",
"Document ID: ObjectID(\"61f7f74a2aecdd3e9467711f\")",
"Detailed Error: cannot insert link at index 7 of array at path { table: \"CompanyLocation\", fullPath: \"units\" }, array has 6 elements and backfilling nulls in array of links are not supported",
"Number of Unsyncable Documents: 1"
]
The code causing the error is:
const newUnits = result.Shipment.Units[0].Unit.map(u => u._attributes.UID + u._attributes.PSN).flat();
console.log(newUnits);
if(importResult.success){
// Lägg till den som inventory på platsen.
context.services.get("mongodb-atlas")
.db("app")
.collection("CompanyLocation")
.updateOne(
{
_id: new BSON.ObjectId(place),
_partition: partition},
{
$push: {
units: {
$each: newUnits
}
}
}
)
console.log(newUnits);
}
My question is: What may be causing this & What does the error message mean?
Seems like this is a problem with MongoDB version 5.
