Mongoose 8.x returns isValidObjectId false for twelve-character string that works in 7.x about mongoose HOT 4 CLOSED

There's a section in the "migrating to mongoose 8" guide about changes to valid object ids and 12 character length strings. Could this be related to that?

That sounds very likely! Thank you, I didn't find anything like that on my own. I'll try to figure out how to convert a 12-character string into a valid ObjectId in this new version, since I'll keep getting them from mobile apps out in the wild. I'll close this issue. Thanks again!

This seems to be due to a change introduced in verson 6 of the Node MongoDB driver.

Yeah this is a change in the MongoDB Node driver. They don't accept length 12 strings in the ObjectId constructor anymore unfortunately:

> new mongoose.Types.ObjectId('123457890ab')
Uncaught:
BSONError: input must be a 24 character hex string, 12 byte Uint8Array, or an integer
    at new ObjectId (/mongoose/node_modules/bson/lib/bson.cjs:2047:23)
