If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

Creating a text index on my field gives this error. Code:

WordSchema = new Schema({
  title: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
  },
  meanings: [MeaningSchema],
  keys: [String],
  tags: [String],
  language: String,
  createdAt: Date,
  updatedAt: Date
});

WordSchema.index({title: 'text'}); ---> Error
WordSchema.index({title: 1});      ---> Works fine

What is the expected behavior?
Should work without errors

Please mention your node.js, mongoose and MongoDB version.
node - 9.11.1
mongoose - 5.1.1 (same with 5.0.8)
MongoDB - 3.6.2

@onkar0777 I tried to reproduce your issue with the following code:

6472.js

#!/usr/bin/env node
'use strict';

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test');
const conn = mongoose.connection;
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;

const meaningSchema = new Schema({
  x: String
});

const wordSchema = new Schema({
  title: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
  },
  meanings: [meaningSchema],
  keys: [String],
  tags: [String],
  language: String,
  createdAt: Date,
  updatedAt: Date
});

wordSchema.index({ title: 'text' });

const Test = mongoose.model('test', wordSchema);

const test = new Test({
  title: 'Hello'
});

async function run() {
  await conn.dropDatabase();
  await Test.ensureIndexes();
  await test.save();
  let found = await Test.findOne({ $text: { $search: 'Hello' } });
  console.log(found);
  return conn.close();
}

run();

Output:

issues: ./6472.js
{ keys: [],
  tags: [],
  _id: 5afbf1f76f48d7b762c3ff14,
  title: 'Hello',
  meanings: [],
  __v: 0 }

This doesn't cause any errors for me. Can you either create a complete example or modify mine to mirror yours to reproduce the error?

[AugustBrenner]

I am experiencing this as well. Many large models, when I comment out the ones with text indexes it works, if I comment any of them back in I get a cyclic dependency detected error. Running mongoose 5.1.1, but still have the problem back to 5.0

[AugustBrenner]

when I comment out the text parts of this index as well as the weights it works.

`Hello.index(
{
'_search_hello_1' : 1,
'_search_hello_2' : 'text',
'_search_hello_3' : 'text',
'_search_hello_4' : 1,
},
{
weights : {
"_search_hello_2" : 5,
"_search_hello_3" : 1,
},

    name 						: 'hello_v1_text_index'
}

)`

also the error exists when I comment out the index: true of the following:

_id : { type : String, required : true, index : true },

@onkar0777 @AugustBrenner can you check out #6109, are you by chance using the retryWrites option on your connection?

[vkarpov15]

Should be fixed by #6109
