TypeError: console.err is not a function

Hi,

I'm getting the following error when I run mongoose_sandbox.js.

Totally stuck - anyone have any ideas?

/Users/danielboon/Documents/Projects/qa-rest-api/node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/lib/server.js:242 process.nextTick(function() { throw err; }) ^

A quick google seems to return this as a good resource, I believe you should be using console.error

Yes, probably should be console.error

But the file generating the error isn't my code
