mongoose TypeError: Schema is not a constructor

Question

I've encountered a strange thing. I have several mongoose models - and in one of them (only in one!) I get this error:

TypeError: Schema is not a constructor

I find it very strange as I have several working schemas. I tried logging mongoose.Schema in the non-working schema and it is indeed different from the mongoose.Schema in my working schemas - how is that possible? The code is almost identical. Here's the code for the non-working schema:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;

var errSchema = new Schema({
  name: String,
  images:[{
    type:String
  }],
  sizes:[{
    type: String
  }],
  colors:[{
    type: Schema.ObjectId,
    ref: 'Color'
  }],
  frontColors:[{
    type: Schema.ObjectId,
    ref: 'Color'
  }],
  script: Boolean
},{
  timestamps: true
});

var Err = mongoose.model('Err', errSchema);

module.exports = Err;

Code for a working schema:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;

var colorSchema = new Schema({
  name: String,
  image: String,
  rgb: String,
  comment: String,
});

var Color = mongoose.model('Color', colorSchema);

module.exports = Color;

Any help would be appreciated!

It should be Schema.Types.ObjectId, not Schema.ObjectId: http://mongoosejs.com/docs/schematypes.html
