removeFriend Parameter

[jars-are-red]

Within the removeFriend function, what is expected when asking for user1 and user2 ? When given the "_id" field, it does not return an error but does not remove each user from the friends attribute. In requestFriend, the parameters are user1._id and user2._id so I was thinking delete would be the same.

same problem. try something like this (its work for me)
`exports.removeFriend = (req, res) => {
User.findOne({_id: req.session.passport.user._id}, (err, master) => {
if (err) throw err;
User.findOne({_id: req.body.reqUser}, (err, user) => {
if (err) throw err;
User.removeFriend(master._id, user._id, (err, byeFriend) => {
if (err) throw err;
res.sendStatus(200);
})
})
});

};`

you need to convert your id, which is most likely a string to a mongoose type object id.
example:
//substitute yourStringUser1Id, yourStringUser2Id with your ids.
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var user1Id = mongoose.Types.ObjectId(yourStringUser1Id);
var user2Id = mongoose.Types.ObjectId(yourStringUser2Id);
User.removeFriend(user1Id, user2Id, cb);

User.removeFriend(user1Id, user2Id, cb);

Thank you, it worked for me
