Replace Cursor.nextObject because it was removed from node-mongodb-native library

[HolgerFrank]

Cursor.nextObject was deprecated since version 2 of the node-mongodb-native library and was now removed completely from the library. Because gridfs-stream uses Cursor.nextObject it is not compatible any more with the new version which is used from mongoose 5 now. Cursor.nextObject must be replaced by Cursor.next

I am experiencing the same issue right now after updating to mongoose 5. Running MongoDB 3.6.3 and gridfs-stream 1.1.1.

You could monkey patch it until its fixed (with evil eval 😉):

const Grid = require('gridfs-stream');
eval(`Grid.prototype.findOne = ${Grid.prototype.findOne.toString().replace('nextObject', 'next')}`);

[wendellpereira]

Another option is to change in the source at Grid.prototype.findOne:

cursor.nextObject(callback);

to:

cursor.next(callback);

This way you will don't need remember to update your code. I think. =)

[Wisedemic]

Can confirm! This is still happening! Wendellpereira has the right answer to this issue.

Fixed by changing ../node_modules/gridfs-stream/lib/index.js line 143 cursor.nextObject(callback); to cursor.next(callback);

#133 will help

[xelaz]

Is it possible fix the package for not use monkey patch. this issue is from last year and out of date

[cmouli96]

cursor.next is not a function is the new error i am getting after changing nextObject to next

[traoremp]

Has this been resolved ?

[lobermann]

@traoremp from what I see this project is no longer maintained. I switched to @lykmapipo/gridfs-stream which at least hast this issue solved. For some I also switched to mongoose-gridfs .
