Mongoose:Validation error path is required

Question

**I'm trying to save a new document in mongodb with mongoose, but I am getting ValidationError: Path 'email' is required., Path 'passwordHash' is required., Path 'username' is required. even though I am supplying email, passwordHash and username.

Here is the user schema.**

*productModel.js*

const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const Validator = require("Validator");


const productSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: {
    type: String,
    required:[true,"Please Enter Your Name"],
    trim: true
  },
  description: {
    type: String,
    required: [true,"Please Enter Product Description"],
  },
  price: {
    type: Number,
    required: [true,"Please Enter Product Price"],
    maxLength: [8, "Price cannot exceed 8 characters"],
  },
  ratings: {
    type: Number,
    default: 0,
  },
  images: [
    {
      public_id: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
      },
      url: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
      },
    },
  ],
  category: {
    type: String,
    required: [true,"Please Enter Product Category"],
  },
  Stock: {
    type: Number,
    required: [true, "Please Enter product Stock"],
    maxLength: [4, "Stock cannot exceed 4 characters"],
    default: 1,
  },
  numOfReviews: {
    type: Number,
    default: 0,
  },
  reviews: [
    {
      user: {
        type: mongoose.Schema.ObjectId,
        ref: "User",
        required: true,
      },
      name: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
      },
      rating: {

        required: true,
      },
      comment: {

      },
    },
  ],

  
  createdAt: {
    type: Date,
    default: Date.now,

//Create Product
exports.createProduct=async(req,res,next)=>{
     const product= await Product.create(req.body);

     res.status(201).json({
        success:true,
        product,
     });
}

exports.getAllProducts = (req,res)=>{


    res.status(200).json({message:"Route is working fine"})
}

**database.js**

const mongoose=require("mongoose");
