Cyclic dependency error with mongodb

Question

        var newsfeed = db.collection('newsfeed');
        newsfeed.findAndModify({
            _id: mongodb.ObjectId(newsfeedId)
        }, {
            new: true
        }, {
            $set: newsfeed
        }, function(err, result) {
            if (err) {
                return reject(err);
            } else {
                return resolve(result.value);
            }
        });

I get a cyclic dependency error when i run this query on mongodb, ive read through other solutions presented in stackoverflow but cant seem to fix this error .. this is the error message i see

Answer 1

You are setting the newsfeed object back to newsfeed collection. Try to include the field which needs to be updated instead of whole object.
