Using aggregation stages without a leading '$' is deprecated and will be removed in a future version

[andreisu]

I tried using query.distinct() as per documentation. But I get a warning that I should add the leading $ sign to it. Which breaks the query. What is the new proper way of getting distinct values without aggregation pipeline?

    const sQuery = new Parse.Query("Deliveries");
    sQuery.equalTo("user", req.user);
    sQuery.greaterThan("createdAt", new Date(timeframe));
    sQuery.equalTo("status", "accepted");
    sQuery.distinct("donator");
    const totalDonatorsHelped = await sQuery.count({ useMasterKey: true });

What versions of the JS SDK and Parse Server are you using? This would most likely be fixed by updating your JS SDK to the latest version

You’re right, it’s been fixed in version 6. I’ll pay attention in the future. Thank you.

Upgrading to 6.0. caused this Error: Router.use() requires a middleware function but got an object I opened an issue on GitHub.

Please review the migration guide when updating major versions, as major versions have breaking changes:

parse-community/parse-server/blob/alpha/6.0.0.md#asynchronous-initialization

This one helped. Thanks a lot.

In the migration guide this line const ParseServer = require("parse-server") needs to be swapped with const ParseServer = require("parse-server").ParseServer; Otherwise it gives ParseServer is not a constructor error. JFYI
