Is exexPopulate() method is deprecated from the mongoose new version?

Question

main()

    const main = async () =>{
    const task = await Task.findById('614ac31e103d9c5329d38686')
    await task.populate('owner').execPopulate()
    console.log(task.owner)
}

execPopulate() is not a function

Answer 1

From changelogs at https://mongoosejs.com/docs/migrating_to_6.html#removed-execpopulate,

the line should be replaced to

await task.populate('owner')
