Mongoose deleting (pull) a document within an array, does not work with ObjectID

Question

I have the following mongoose schema:

user = {
    \"userId\" : \"myId\",
    \"connections\":
    [{
        \"dateConnectedUnix\": 1334567891,
        \"is         


        

Answer 1

It seems that the above code would not work. It should not even have worked for the first example I gave.

In the end I was supported by this answer here: MongoDB, remove object from array

Here is my working code:

userAccounts.update( 
      { userId: usr.userId },
      { $pull: { connections : { _id : connId } } },
      { safe: true },
      function removeConnectionsCB(err, obj) {
          ...
      });
