populate is not working!

[toufik2015]

The pre hook is not working! and it doesn't populate the teacher field.

`const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const assignmentSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
{
teacher: { type: mongoose.Schema.ObjectId, ref: 'User' },
group: { type: mongoose.Schema.ObjectId, ref: 'Group' },
AssignedAt: { type: Date, default: Date.now() },
},
{ toJSON: { virtuals: true }, toObject: { virtuals: true } }
);

const Assignment = mongoose.model('Assignment', assignmentSchema);

assignmentSchema.pre(/^find/, function (next) {
console.log('is this running?');
this.populate({
path: 'teacher',
select: 'firstName',
});
next();
});

module.exports = Assignment;`

@toufik2015 what version of Mongoose?

Also, why are you reporting this issue here? It doesn't look like you're using mongoose-autopopulate
