mongoose-statics.js

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var assert = require('assert')

console.log('\n===========');
console.log('    mongoose version: %s', mongoose.version);
console.log('========\n\n');

var schema = new Schema({
    name: String
});
schema.statics.doStuff = function () {
  console.log('doStuff');
  this.doOtherStuff();
}
schema.statics.doOtherStuff = function () {
  console.log('doOtherStuff');
}

var A = mongoose.model('A', schema);
A.doStuff();

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for that.
I had incorrectly referred to this.doOtherStuff() inside an anonymous function in doStuff().
The this scope was not the right one...
eg.

schema.statics.doStuff = function(id, callback) {
    this.findOne(id, function(err, item) {
        this.doOtherStuff(item, function(err, final) {
            callback(null,final);
        });
    });
}

My understanding is this.doOtherStuff() refers to the this scope of the anonymous function function(err,item) {} instead of the expected function(id,callback) {}
