Bug: mongoose.Types.ObjectId doesn't extend mongodb.ObjectId properly (TypeScript)

See original GitHub issue

What is the current behavior?

user: mongoose.Types.ObjectId;

user._id._id._id._id._id._id //...
user._id.toHexString() // error: toHexString() doesn't exist on _id

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

What is the expected behavior?

Version 2.6.10 changed ObjectId and Schema.index() behavior.

// before (worked)
MySchema.index({ key: 1, star: 1 }, { unique: true });

// today (not sure if it works)
MySchema.index({ key: 1, star: 1 }, { weights: { unique: true } });

What are the versions of Node.js, Mongoose and MongoDB you are using? Note that “latest” is not a version.

Mongoose: 6.2.10

I have occasionally seen typescript do things like that, where things fail but then later (after some kind of cache expires?) it works. glad that was an easy fix 😉

the _id recursion thing is from what I can tell expected.
