Hey folks, wondering if you could help me with an issue I’m getting when using one of the examples in the Forest Admin docs

## Expected behavior

Should be able to do

```javascript
 const lesson = await new RecordGetter(
      lessons,
      request.user,
      request.query
    ).get(request.params.recordId);

```

following an example from here [Prevent record update | Woodshop for old agent generation](https://docs.forestadmin.com/woodshop/how-tos/prevent-record-update-based-on-specific-criterias)  
Should be able to log the lesson record once the promise has successfully resolved.

## Actual behavior

What is the current behavior?

At the moment, I’m getting a TypeError:

which must be coming from Sequelize. Not sure how to resolve this issue - unless it is something wrong with the version

“express”: “^4.17.1”,  
“forest-express-sequelize”: “^7.3.1”,  
Database Dialect: postgres  
postgres:12  
“sequelize”: “~5.15.1”

Hi @Mitchell_Lloyd, hope you are doing well.

You are using the version 7 of `forest-express-sequelize` with an example code for the v8 😕  
An easy fix for this would be to switch from

```javascript
const lesson = await new RecordGetter(
      lessons,
      request.user,
      request.query
    )

```

To

```javascript
 const lesson = await new RecordGetter(
      lessons,
    )

```

Or switch to our latest v8 😃

Let me know if that helps 🙏
