Populate with inherited document in Mongoose

node.js mongodb inheritance mongoose database-schema

Doh.. changing

    var componentSchema = new Schema({          name: String        , desc: String    }, { discriminatorKey : '_type' })

    var componentSchema = new Schema({          name: String        , desc: String    }, { collection : 'components', discriminatorKey : '_type' })

Fixes the issue. Not sure why.
