Issue with mongoskin

See original GitHub issue

  var skinClassName = 'Skin' + NativeClass.name;
                                          ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined
    at makeSkinClass (/Users/tacmarketing/WebstormProjects/tcomb-db/node_modules/monk/node_modules/mongoskin/lib/utils.js:33:43)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/tacmarketing/WebstormProjects/tcomb-db/node_modules/monk/node_modules/mongoskin/lib/admin.js:18:37)

    at Function.Module._load (module.js:310:12)

Currently can’t build monk and i’m not sure mongoskin will receive an update.

Are there any plans to remove mongoskin as a dependency?

Edit:

A temporary solution to fix this module would be to add mongodb@1.4.4 as a dependency as the issue stems from the fact that mongoskin switched (accidentially) to a peer dependency for mongodb@2.X which it does not support.

Ran into the same issue. Was able to fix with:

npm uninstall mongodb --save
npm install mongodb@1.4 --save

Which is what @DylanPiercey stated at the top.

I’m also concerned that this dependency issue has been open for 10 months.
