Weird behavior with arrays of objects

[LinoMota]

I don't know how deep joigoose works for converting schemas to the ones compatible with mongoose but I am having this problem where my joi schema is kinda valid (cause it did not throw me any error) but when I try to use the joigoose convert method he does not work at all. For my other schemas, it works fine but in this specific case doesn't.

const Joi = require('joi');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Joigoose = require('joigoose')(mongoose);

const item = Joi.object().keys({
  id: Joi.string(),
  label: Joi.string(),
  type: Joi.string(),
  listIds: Joi.array(),
});

const autocomplete = Joi.array().items(item);

const where = {
  restrictions: {
    content: Joi.array().items(autocomplete).allow(null),
  },
};

const schema = {
  where: Joi.array().items(where),
};

console.log(Joigoose.convert(schema));

TypeError: Invalid schema configuration: undefined is not a valid type within the array restrictions.content.See http://bit.ly/mongoose-schematypes for a list of valid schema types.

This is a sample of valid data:

const valid = {
  where: [
    {
      restrictions: {
        content: [
          [{
            id: '123',
            label: 'a',
            type: 'product',
          }],
          [{
            id: '1234',
            label: 'b',
            type: 'tag',
          }],
        ],
      },
    },
  ],
};

Hey @LinoMota. This is certainly strange.

Please can you create a PR which adds this scenario to the test suite? From there, I'll have a base where I can start to debug this.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for adding the PR. I'm super swamped with my day job at the moment so not 100% when I'll get around to this.

If you're able to, please try to dig into this yourself and see if you can find anything obviously amiss.

You're welcome @yoitsro!

For those who also had this problem I managed to solve using just normal Joi.array().allow(null) without any inner validation, of course it is temporary, I will be digging in the next few days trying to solve this problem too. Have a nice day :D
