Temperamental `nestRemoting()` sometimes can't find relation

I'm implementing the (not so well documented) loopback method nestRemoting() as follows:

module.exports = function(MyModel) {
    MyModel.on('attached', function() {
        MyModel.nestRemoting('relationName');
    });
}

However this seems to be very temperamental. Sometimes it works, but most of the time I get:

Relation `relationName` does not exist for model `MyModel`
    at ....stacktrace....
    .....

Does anyone know why this error might be occurring?

Solution

  • So, I found the solution only moments after posting - you can only do nestRemoting after the model has been attatched... not attached. Simple spelling mistake can fix all woes.

    Perhaps this post will help someone else trying to nest endpoints.
