Error: Consistency violation: A model references a datastore which cannot be found

I am new to using SailsJS and also I am using mongodb for the database to connect. I tried using Robo 3T to make sure that my connection is valid and check that the models are in it. However, when I tried lifting using sails lift I encountered this error:

error: A hook (`orm`) failed to load!
error:
error: Error: Consistency violation: A model (`calendar`) references a datastore which cannot be found (`warboard-test`).  If this
 model definition has an explicit `connection` property, check that it is spelled correctly.  If not, check your default `connecti
on` (usually located in `config/models.js`).  Finally, check that this connection (`warboard-test`) is valid as per http://sailsjs
.org/documentation/reference/configuration/sails-config-connections.

I am pretty sure that I have a Calendar model and also it exists on my mongodb through GUI.

This is my config/connections.js:

module.exports.connections = {
localDiskDb: {
  adapter: 'sails-disk'
},
dbTest: {
    adapter: 'sails-mongo',
    url: 'mongodb://user:password@host:port/db?replicaSet=rs-ds117073',
    socketOptions: {
      keepAlive: 1000,
      connectTimeoutMS: 60000
    }
  }
};

My config/models.js:

module.exports.models = {
 connection: 'db-test',
 migrate: 'alter',
 migrations: true,
 version: 3
};

Sails: 1.0.0-46 Node: 8.9.4

Does anyone encounter this error?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • You have to change the line in config/models.js from:

    connection: 'db-test', // no match in connections.js

    to:

    connection: 'dbTest', // matches a key in connections.js

    Then it will match the key name you give in your config/connections.js file.
