Cast to ObjectID Failed

[bnurick]

I am receiving this on all attempts to GET or DELETE by ID. I was trying a very simple implementation to learn how to build simple REST APIs.

I have, what I thought, was a very simple MEAN stack example.

MODEL DEFINITION:
// Dependencies
var restful = require('node-restful');
var mongoose = restful.mongoose;

// Schema
var productSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: String,
sku: String,
price: Number,
updated_at: { type: Date, default: Date.now }
});

// Return model
module.exports = restful.model('Products', productSchema);

---

I was able to add via POST, and this is returned using the GET to /api/products:
[{"_id":"586d9d3b3d618b1d481a395f","name":"Test Product","sku":"lkiuhygs","price":12.99,"__v":0,"updated_at":"2017-01-05T01:11:23.478Z"}]

So, the POST works, GET all works.

Any PUT or GET specific by the ID errors, example GET request below, and the error.
GET request sent in POSTMAN:
http://localhost:3000/api/products/586d9d3b3d618b1d481a395f

Error returned in POSTMAN:
{"message":"Cast to ObjectId failed for value "586d95629202a834e871eff9" at path "_id" for model "Products"","name":"CastError","stringValue":""586d95629202a834e871eff9"","kind":"ObjectId","value":"586d95629202a834e871eff9","path":"_id"}

I admit I am just starting out on this, so the issue may be with me!

Just a guess, but looking at the error above it seems as though there is a problem record in Mongo where _id is quoted (""586...""), maybe that is causing a problem? Try clearing down your data and making sure that that the new record you post isn't quoted in the DB.

@bnurick you can you provide what you sent via POST? I'd have to agree with @rbalmf as the _id looks like it's a string value starting and ending with ".
