non-async-tests-mongoose.js

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var wait = require('wait.for');

mongoose.connect('localhost', 'non_async_tests');

var itemSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    name: String
});
var Item = mongoose.model("Item", itemSchema);

function test() {
    console.log('before');
    var items = wait.forMethod(Item, "find");
    for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
        console.log(items[i]);
    }
    console.log('after');
}

wait.launchFiber(test);
mongoose.connection.close();
