Cannot populate path `` because it is not in your schema. Set the strictPopulate option to false to override.
If you put two spaces between populate I got the error above

 const readings = await Gwapo.find(conditions)
    .populate(
      "user  testgwapo",
      "fname lname isActive height abbrev "
    )

"mongoose": "^6.12.0",

https://mongoosejs.com/docs/populate.html#query-conditions you can see this.

if you populate multiple and there is an extra space, you will get that error. This doesnt error in mongoose 5. I already corrected this during migration though
