Mongoose findOne is returning the doc as the error?

Question

At my wits end. Can't seem to figure out why this is happening.

Trade.findOne( { ticker } ).then( ( err, doc ) => {
  if ( err ) {
    console.log( 'THERE IS AN ERROR:', '\n', err )
  } else {
    console.log( 'no error' )
    if ( doc ) {
      console.log( 'doc', doc )
    } else {
      console.log( 'no doc' )
    }
  }
} )

When this block of code runs, it goes into the error case and console logs THERE IS AN ERROR and when I log out err, it logs out the correct document that was found. I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. Is there a better error message to be found?

I thought maybe something was conflicting with my Schema but I went line by line through the data and still nothing.

EDIT:

So strange... I changed up the structure of my code to this:

Trade.findOne( { ticker } ).then( doc => {
  if ( doc ) {
    console.log( 'doc', doc )
  } else {
    console.log( 'no doc' )
  }
} ).catch( err => {
  console.log( 'err', err )
} )

This works... Why?

Mongoose's callbacks provide the error as the first argument and result as the second argument.

When using promises, errors are caught in the catch handler as you have above - and the result cascades through then handlers.

Have a look at:
