EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED.
I’m trying to make an update profile page for an Express app with Mongoose, and I got the error “TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘hasOwnProperty’)”. I am confused how to fix it. Here is my code, thanks
exports.editProfilePost = async (req, res, next) => { try { const username = req.user.username; const user = await User.findOneAndUpdate({ username: username }, req.body, { new: true, }); res.redirect('/profile'); } catch (error) { next(error); } };

So… idk why this works but I forgot to make the profile picture push to cloudinary. Somehow, not pushing to cloudinary made the req.body empty, resulting in the error.
