Waterline error: "Unknown rule: default"

Question

I'm getting the following error when calling .create() on a model.

Model:

attributes: {
    user : {
      type: 'integer'
    },
    number : {
      type: 'string'
    }
  }

Call:

sails.models.phone.create({ 
  user: 2,
  number: '5555555555',
  updated_at: Sun Nov 27 2016 16:59:45 GMT-0800 (PST) 
});

Error:

How do I fix this?

I've looked into similar errors, but none of my models have a default attribute, including the phone model shown above. Why is this happening, and how do I solve it?

Solution

So it turns out that a Waterline call of .update() changes the input information. I had written a function to create or update waterline models, and when they fixed the auto updated_at issue, they must've altered the incoming info.

My previous code that did not work:

createOrUpdate: function(model, primary, data){
  return model.update(primary, data)
  .then(function updateCB(updated){
    if (updated.length == 0){
      return model.create(data) //data here had an added updated_at field
      .then(function(created){
        return created;
      });
    }

    if (updated.length > 0){
      updated = updated[0];
    }
    return updated;
  });
}

My new code that does work:

createOrUpdate: function(model, primary, data){
  const data1 = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data)); // deep copy
  const data2 = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data)); // deep copy
  return model.update(primary, data1)
  .then(function updateCB(updated){
    if (updated.length == 0){
      return model.create(data2)
      .then(function(created){
        return created;
      });
    }

    if (updated.length > 0){
      updated = updated[0];
    }
    return updated;
  });
}

Answer 1

You can't call update with:

updated_at: Sun Nov 27 2016 16:59:45 GMT-0800 (PST) 

Updated_at is automatically filled field. Remove it from request (call as you call it) and it will work.
