findOneAndReplace throws validation errors with runValidators: false

[eliw00d]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
Report a bug. But, if it is not a bug, then request a feature.

What is the current behavior?
ValidationErrors are thrown when using the runValidators: false option in findOneAndReplace.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
Have a model with required fields and try to findOneAndReplace without required fields and with runValidators set to false.

What is the expected behavior?
ValidationErrors are not thrown when using the runValidators: false option in findOneAndReplace.

Basically, we want to be able to soft delete a document by replacing it with fewer fields than is normally required without triggering validation.

I searched for findOneAndReplace + runValidators in Issues and found this. Although the issue is about overwriteDiscriminatorKey it did include a snippet for findOneAndReplace with runValidators, so unless it was a copy & paste error it would seem it should be supported?

What are the versions of Node.js, Mongoose and MongoDB you are using? Note that "latest" is not a version.
Node.js: 16.13.0
Mongoose: 6.2.8
MongoDB: 4.4.6-8

Please modify the script below to demonstrate your issue.

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const {Schema} = mongoose;

const testSchema = new Schema({
    name: {
        type: String,
        require: true
    }
});

const Test = mongoose.model('Test', testSchema);

async function run() {
    await mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017');
    await mongoose.connection.dropDatabase();

    const entry = await Test.create({
        name: 'Test'
    });

    await Test.findOneAndReplace({name: 'Test'}, {name: 'Testerson'}, {runValidators: false});

    console.log(await Test.find());
}

run();

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const {Schema} = mongoose;

const testSchema = new Schema({
    name: {
        type: String,
        required: true // you had a typo here
    }
});

const Test = mongoose.model('Test', testSchema);

async function run() {
    await mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017');
    await mongoose.connection.dropDatabase();

    const entry = await Test.create({
        name: 'Test'
    });

    await Test.findOneAndReplace(
      {name: 'Test'}, 
      {}, // this part is key, I am trying to replace without required fields
      {runValidators: false}
    );

    console.log(await Test.find());
}

run();

throws

ValidationError: test validation failed: name: Path `name` is required.

Good catch on the typo.

It's worth pointing out that switching from findOneAndReplace to replaceOne works as expected.
