Find All Post By User ID

I use mongoose to populate "Post Schema" with information about users whic create the post.

postModule.js

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

 const postSchema = mongoose.Schema({
title:String,
description:String,
datePost:Date,
images:[String],
like:[String],
dislike:[String],
author:{
    type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
    ref:'User'
},
 });


postSchema.pre(/^find/,function(next){
this.populate({
    path:'author',
    select:'photo firstName lastName'
  });
next();
});


 const Post = mongoose.model('Post',postSchema);
 module.exports = Post;

This is the controller build in postController.js

//Get All User Post
exports.getUsersPost = catchAsync(async(req,res,nex)=>{
const userPost = await Post.find({author:req.params.userId});

res.status(200).json({
    status:"success",
    length:userPost.length,
    data:{
        post:userPost
    }
});
});

postRouter.js

router.route('/get-user-posts/:userId').get(authController.protect,postController.getUsersPost)

I don't know what is wrong, I recive in postman this error 

Cannot GET /api/v1/get-user-posts/5f719092ba22b8373c72196
There is any option to resolve this problem and the result of request it must to by all the posts created by the user.

If your app.js looks like below, then you endpoint should be:

/api/v1/post/get-user-posts/5f719092ba22b8373c72196.

It takes the whole string in the use() function. So /api/v1/user/**Routes you've defined in your Routes files**

const sessionRoutes = require('./routes/sessionsRoutes'); 
    const userRoutes = require('./routes/userRoutes'); 
    const viewRoutes = require('./routes/viewRoutes'); 
    const postRoutes = require('./routes/postRoutes'); 
    
    app.use('/api/v1/session',sessionRoutes); 
    app.use('/api/v1/user',userRoutes); 
    app.use('/api/v1/post',postRoutes); 
    app.use('/',viewRoutes); 
    module.exports = app;

Also add and extra slash just to be sure app.use('/api/v1/user/', userRoutes)
