Backbone model.save calls error function on status code 200

this.model.save(newModel, {error: function (e){
        alert("Error trying to save contact: " + e);
        console.log(e);
    }});

Above is the code that is running on the client side. the server code is

model.update_contact(contact, function(err){
        if(err){
            res.statusCode = 500;
            return res.json({"Database error" : err});
        }
        return res.end();
    });

inspecting the network traffic i see that the server responds with status code 200 but the web page shows the alert message "Error trying to save contact: [Object object]"

p.s the db query is successful

Dumb mistake, my server was not properly returning the object back. Once i added code to return the object everything ran fine.

Backbone expects to get the model's JSON back in response to PUT or POST requests IIRC.

Instead of returning res.end() try this:

return res.json(contact);
