Fixing the 500 Internal Server Error When Updating Records in MongoDB with NestJS

When working with databases, encountering errors during CRUD operations can be frustrating — especially when the error messages leave you guessing. This post addresses a common issue that arises when attempting to update records in MongoDB using NestJS. In particular, we’ll solve the problem of receiving a 500 Internal Server Error when trying to update user data.

The Problem: Update Operation Fails

While trying to update a user record with a specific userId, the attempt results in a 500 Internal Server Error. The code snippets provided from service.ts and controller.ts offer insight into the method of updating the database record using Mongoose:

The Solution: Switch to findOneAndUpdate

The root of the issue lies in the method used to update the record. The solution is fairly straightforward: instead of using findByIdAndUpdate, you should utilize findOneAndUpdate. This effectively resolves the error and allows for successful updates. Here’s how to implement the solution:

Updated updateUser Method:

Replace the findByIdAndUpdate call with findOneAndUpdate:

Why findOneAndUpdate Works:

Flexibility: findOneAndUpdate allows for more comprehensive query parameters beyond just the document ID, making it adaptable to a variety of situations.

Error Handling: It tends to provide clearer error outputs than findByIdAndUpdate, making it easier to debug issues encountered during data manipulation.

Conclusion:

By adjusting your update method from findByIdAndUpdate to findOneAndUpdate, you can resolve the 500 Internal Server Error experienced when trying to update records in MongoDB through NestJS. This change ensures that updates occur correctly and opens up broader possibilities for querying and manipulating data.
