Mongoose: model not saving data passed to it

I'm trying to send an object full of data I scraped to a collection on my server. Problem is, it doesn't save whenever I send it to the backend. I'm sending the information to a collection named events. The content constantly sends back a success! You saved a new item. Everytime I check events, however, it's empty. Here's my code:

Controller

var CronJob = require('cron').CronJob;
var scrape = require("../models/dataScrape");

//code requesting data...

for(var i = 0; i < titles.length; i++){
                data.push({"festival" : titles[i], "date" : dates[i], "url" : links[i]});
}

var _id = "12345";
var body = {"_id" : _id, "events" : data};

var job = new CronJob('0*/1 * * * *', function(req, res){
    scrape.eventList.find({}, function (err, count) {
        if (!err && count.length == 0) {
            var newEvents = new scrap.eventList(body);
            newEvents.save(function(err, data){
                if(error){
                    console.log("Error: " + err);
                }else{
                    console.log("success! You saved a new item.");
                }
            });
        }else{
            scrape.eventList.update({_id: body._id}, body, function(err){
                console.log("update");;
                if(err){
                    console.log(err);
                }else{
                    console.log("success! you updated an item.");
                }
            });
        }
    });
}

Model

var mongoose = require("mongoose");
mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost/BackYardBrewing");

var eventsSchema = mongoose.Schema({
    id          : {type : String},
    events      : [{
                        festival : String,
                        date     : String,
                        url      : String,
                    }],
})

module.exports = {
    eventList      : mongoose.model("event", eventsSchema),
}

I've used a very similar format on another model, and it saves data just fine. Any hints?

In the if statement of the save method if(error) should be if(err), error doesn't exist.

According to mongoose, your save method should be..

newEvents.save(function(err){
            if(err){
                console.log("Error: " + err);
            }else{
                console.log("success! You saved a new item.");
            }
        });

Or you can use the create method instead

scrap.eventList.create(newEvents, function(err, doc){
    if(err)
        { console.log("Error:" + err);}
    else{ console.log("success! You saved a new item.");}
});
