Sequelize Error: Invalid value [object Object]

Error: Invalid value [object Object]

This happens when you think you are passing an integer or string, and you are actually passing in an object!

Somethign like this will produce the same error.

// I was testing some functionality that relied on `moment()`. 
// I wanted to fake the value of the time Moment uses so I could test return values. 
// Here is the method I used. Reference: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31591297/1478950

const test = require("ava");
const sinon = require("sinon");
const moment = require("moment");

// Sometimes I have a promise chain that returns out of a promise before 
// the the execution is actually completed. Maybe i'm not returning correctly?
// Anyway, might be a common problem for a newb, like me.
// here is a way to add a delay in the promise chain to wait for the previous
// promise to complete. This is NOT best practice, but maybe it can be used as
// a troubleshooting tool.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'getTableName' of undefined or foo.bar is not a function

I've had this error on numerous occasions. Here are a few things to look for:

• Check that the table name that is included in the query is spelled correctly, check that is it defined correctly (for sequelize).
• If you are running tests and using Mockery, check that Mockery is setup correctly. Try removing Mockery and running the test.
• Check that if you are trying to stub with Sinon, that Mockery isn't ALSO trying to stub out the same object.
• Example of stubbing with Sinon instead of Mockery: https://gist.github.com/todgru/e439373af2488eefc30ae8bd1fe3864a
