Node.js & mongoDB: uncaughtException: Cannot overwrite `User` model once compiled

Question

I have this import

const User = require("./Usermodel")'

and I want to change it to

const User = require("./UserModel")

When I try to change the import-spelling, to be consistant with my other imports and the actual module-name I'm importing. I keep getting the error:

uncaughtException: Cannot overwrite `User` model once compiled.

What can I do to change this?

Answer 1

The problem was that I had the same import in different files. The spelling must be the same in each of them.
