And the code is just:

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

mongoose.model('User', {
    properties: ['user', 'pass', 'widgets' ],
    indexes: [ { 'user' : 1 } , { unique : true }  ],
});
.......

/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/mongoose/0.0.5/package/lib/util.js:40

 else {
       // Prevent never-ending loop
       if (target === d.value) {
             continue;
       }

---

even if i comment the continue statement, causes another error log:

node.js:68
      throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
      ^
Error: ECONNREFUSED, Connection refused
    at Socket._onConnect (net.js:548:18)
    at IOWatcher.onWritable [as callback] (net.js:165:12)

Any idea?

Answer 1

/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/mongoose/0.0.5/package/lib/util.js

Edit this file and change line 40 from continue; to return;

In Array.prototype.forEach, continue is not supported (you can use the example below to test return vs continue in firebug's console)

[1,2,3,4].forEach(function(val, arr) {
  if(val != 1) {
    console.log(val);
    return;
    //continue;
  }

  console.log('here');
});

Answer 2

ECONNREFUSED is because your mongod is not running - where's the connect string?
