Unique property fails in Sails.js

Question

The following code represents an Account Model in Sails.js v0.9.4 .

 module.exports = {

      attributes: {
        email: {
          type: 'email',
          unique: true,
          required: true
        },
        password:{
          type: 'string',
          minLength: 6,
          maxLength: 15,
          required:true
        }
      }

    };

When I send two POSTS and a PUT request via Postman to localhost:8080/account, the unique property of the email fails. Specifically, I send the following HTTP requests from Postman:

POST http://localhost:8080/[email protected]&password=123456  
POST http://localhost:8080/[email protected]&password=123456    
PUT  http://localhost:8080/account?id=1&[email protected]  
GET  http://localhost:8080/account

The last GET request shows me:

[
  {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "password": "123456",
    "createdAt": "2013-09-30T18:33:00.415Z",
    "updatedAt": "2013-09-30T18:34:35.349Z",
    "id": 1
  },
  {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "password": "123456",
    "createdAt": "2013-09-30T18:33:44.402Z",
    "updatedAt": "2013-09-30T18:33:44.402Z",
    "id": 2
  }
]

Should this happen?
*For those who don't know, Waterline generates by default an id which automatically increments in every insertion.

Answer 1

There is no need to delete current database to solve this, in stead change the waterline migrate option from safe to alter. This way the underlying database will adapt this setting.

I wouldn't recommend migrate: alter in a production environment, though. ;)

Here is my /config/local.js:

module.exports = {

    ... 

    models: {
        migrate: 'alter'
    },
}
