MongoDB error when adding the async cursor option to aggregate query

When adding the async cursor option I get the following error:

MongoError: cursor object can't contain fields other than batchSize

The (simplified) query:

var pipeline = [
    { $lookup: {
        from: "interactions",
        localField: "_id",
        foreignField: "message_id",
        as: "interactions"
    }},
    { $project: {
        id: "$_id",
        numberOfInteractions: { $size: "$interactions" }
    }},
    { $match: {
        numberOfInteractions: { $eq: 0 }
    }}
];

var promise = Message
    .aggregate(pipeline)
    .allowDiskUse(true)
    .cursor({ batchSize: 2500, async: true })
    .exec();

If I make this modification the error goes away:

My setup:

NodeJS 4.2.4
MongoDB version 3.2.5
Mongoose 4.4.13

This issue is still coming while using MongoDB 3.6 on server.

I get the following error when asking questions :

“Command failed with error 9: ‘The ‘cursor’ option is required, except for aggregate with the explain argument’ on server 127.0.0.1:28001. The full response is { “ok” : 0.0, “errmsg” : “The ‘cursor’ option is required, except for aggregate with the explain argument”, “code” : 9, “codeName” : “FailedToParse” }”

@raoulwissink looks like its fixed in the newer versions of Mongoose
