JavaScript Retrieving Entries from a Table

article.publishedAt is not a function

When I want to list all articles I get this error:

article.publishedAt() article.publishedAt is not a function TypeError: /Users/acandael/Tutorials/javascript-tech-degree/sequelize_blog/views/articles/by_line.jade:4 2| = article.author 3| | |

4| = article.publishedAt()

I double checked the code in the models file, but I can't find any typos: .... instanceMethods: { publishedAt: function() { return dateFormat(this.createdAt, 'dddd, mmmm dS, yyyy, h:MM TT'); }, shortDescription: function() { return this.body.length > 30 ? this.body.substr(0, 30) + '...' : this.body; } }

Anyone else got this error?

Could you provide a link to a workspace snapshot?

The repo is good for just sharing the code, but a workspace allows you to share the complete environment which makes it easy to replicate the issue. Otherwise, someone must first try to reproduce the build environment, which might be a significant task if they are not already working with the same project or one that uses all the same libraries.

I recreated the code in a workspace and I'm getting the same error. My workspace is at:

That's just the preview URL. To share the workspace itself, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to that here.
