Error when running npm start..

Hello There,

I followed the tutorial step by step and its seems that a problem occurs when updating the database or creating new article.

Here is what I have within my console:

Unhandled rejection ReferenceError: article is not defined

    at processImmediate [as _immediateCallback] (timers.js:617:5)

The second problem is when I look at the documentation, the course seems a bit outdated. Is it only me or is it a general problem?

For now I am trying to find another article or tutorial in order to work with the sequelize ORM ...

Hello JustDave,

I find two possibilities for this error:

  • The first one is that the db file is not present at the beginning of the course and it may causes this error;
  • The second one is the new version of Sequelize which is not fully compatible with the project.

Anyway, I finally made it work :). Here is the link of the project built on my github account: https://github.com/tdimnet/Sequelize-Blog.git It will maybe help you to understand what's wrong.
