That’s strange. Try doing an npm cache clear and a clean npm install rm -rf node_modules && npm install. What version of mongoose is this happening with?

That’s reasonable, we’ll investigate and see if we can find what’s causing this issue

@williamknn IIRC this was very specific to 4.0.2 for me. Looks like #2908 gets to the heart of the issue and the fix was in cb975db. Perhaps simply adding the appropriate bson version as a direct dependency of your project would fix it? Can’t remember enough about module resolution in node v6 at this time to say for sure, but it’s worth a quick experiment.
