How to handle Mongoose document version Error
The error message is hinting it cannot find the document, so if it's a native query try wrapping it with ObjectId, ie ObjectId("507f1f77bcf86cd799439011").
To answer your question as to how you can wait for the document or handle the error depends upon your db driver. For instance, if you are using promised-mongo:
db.collection.update(...).then((doc) => { // This will run once updated}).catch((err) => { //handle the error});read more: https://github.com/gordonmleigh/promised-mongo
Or if you're using the mongodb npm module:
db.collection.update({_id: ObjectId('yourId'), {updateKey: 'updateVal}, (err,val) => { if(err) //handle it and return // update finished return callback(doc);});more details at https://www.npmjs.com/package/mongodb
If the problem still exists, try setting the query with a flag {upsert: true}, as described here
Keep in mind incoming socket messages might not always arrive in the same order they were sent, handle the state appropriately or use a queue.
