find() not returning all results

[wjessup]

I'm writing an electron app and have various db functions in a module that is loaded in main process and in the render process.

When the app loads in main I can do something like Project.find(...) and get 7 results ( correctly ).
I do the same in the render to load a list for display, call the same function from the same module, get 7 results (correctly).

Then I execute an action to save a new Project in main process.

After that I do the same .find() and get 8 results (correctly). In the callback where I log 8 results, I launch an event to do the .find() in the render.

It executes and I get 7 results (incorrect!).

Code in main process:

Project.find({ user: user._id }).then(projects => {
console.log(projects.length) // => 8 results
global.mainWindow.webContents.send('projects:changed') //triggeres render event as below
})

in render process:

ipcRenderer.on('projects:changed', (e,arg) => {
Project.find({ user: user._id }).then(projects => {
console.log(projects) // => 7 results.
self.setState({ projects })
})
})

Keep in mind this works as expected on app launch.

I'm stumped.

nm, read that this is related to each instance not looking at the JSON files but holding its own data in memory.
