union types in nested objects causes error [BUG]

Summary:

I tried to create a schema with union types in a nested object.

Code sample:

Schema

const NestedObjectWithUnionType = {
  type: Object,
  schema: {
    attribute1: [String, Boolean, Number],
    attribute2: String,
  },
};

const MyModel = dynamoose.model(
  `test`,
  new dynamoose.Schema({
    exampleId: {
      type: String,
      hashKey: true,
    },
    name: String,
    myNestedObject: NestedObjectWithUnionType,
  })
);

Current output and behavior (including stack trace):

InvalidParameter: Index must be at root object and not nested in object or array.
  at node_modules/dynamoose/lib/Schema.ts:587:11
      at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
  at new Schema (node_modules/dynamoose/lib/Schema.ts:585:21)
  at Object.<anonymous> (src/example.ts:648:102)
  at Object.<anonymous> (src/example.ts:1456:27)

Environment:

Operating System: macOS Operating System Version: Sierra Node.js version (node -v): 14.8.0 NPM version: (npm -v): 6.14.5 Dynamoose version: 2.5.0

@julada Oh maybe the problem is that this was fixed in #985. Just hasn’t been released yet. Still doesn’t completely explain why I couldn’t reproduce it. Maybe NPM was caching a local version?? A new release with this fix should be coming out soon.

@julada I ran the following code (just like in your original post).

const dynamoose = require("dynamoose");
dynamoose.aws.ddb.local();

const NestedObjectWithUnionType = {
	type: Object,
	schema: {
	  attribute1: [String, Boolean, Number],
	  attribute2: String,
	},
  };

  const MyModel = dynamoose.model(
	`test`,
	new dynamoose.Schema({
	  exampleId: {
		type: String,
		hashKey: true,
	  },
	  name: String,
	  myNestedObject: NestedObjectWithUnionType,
	})
  );

And got this as the result:

charliefish tmp4 % node index.js
charliefish tmp4 % 

As you can see, no error, no problem. It ran successfully.
