Warning: Accessing non-existent property 'MongoError' of module exports inside circular dependency

[orassayag]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

What is the current behavior?
After upgrade to mongoose 5.11.18 I'm getting a warning:
"(node:16924) Warning: Accessing non-existent property 'MongoError' of module exports inside circular dependency
(Use node --trace-warnings ... to show where the warning was created)"

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

Upgrade to mongoose 5.11.18 and try to use it.

What is the expected behavior?

What are the versions of Node.js, Mongoose and MongoDB you are using? Note that "latest" is not a version.
Using Node v14.15.5, mongoose 5.11.18

Hey,

I have the same problem, node version v15.10.0 and mongoose version, 5.11.18. This occurs when I try to search for a database that does not exist.

This warning appears for mongoose ^5.11.16, when 5.11.15 installed there is no warning.

It happens on 5.11.15 also. For me.

EDIT:- I went back to 5.11.18, and the issue occurs randomly. Like, once every 2 or 3 times of usage

EDIT2:- After trying it out like 10-15 times, the error now only occurs at startup and nowhere else

I am also experiencing this problem with 5.11.18, best bet is probably to revert to 5.11.15 until the problem is fixed as it results in the database not connecting at all.

This is a duplicate of #9900. The fix has been merged mongodb/node-mongodb-native#2734 but we're still waiting on a new release of the MongoDB driver in order to pull in that fix.
