sequelize.query returns empty array - postgresql

Question

Using Sequelize 4.38.1 against PostgreSQL 10.5, I have the following code:
const criteria = {
attended: '2018-09-21',
location: 'Squirrel Hill',
teacher: 'Doe, John',
classTitle: 'Yoga 1'
};
const sql = `
SELECT
"Attendances"._id,
"Attendances"."UserId",
"Users"."lastName" || ', ' || "Users"."firstName" AS name
FROM
"Attendances" INNER JOIN "Users" ON "Attendances"."UserId" = "Users"._id
WHERE
"Attendances".attended = :attended AND
"Attendances".location = :location AND
"Attendances".teacher = :teacher AND
"Attendances"."classTitle" = :classTitle
ORDER BY "Users"."lastName", "Users"."firstName";`;
sequelize.query(
sql,
{
replacements: criteria,
type: sequelize.QueryTypes.SELECT
})
.then(attendeeList => {
console.log(attendeeList);
return res.status(200).json(attendeeList);
})
With sequelize logging turned on, my query is correctly parameterized with the replacements and executed:
SELECT
"Attendances"._id,
"Attendances"."UserId",
"Users"."lastName" || ', ' || "Users"."firstName" AS name
FROM
"Attendances" INNER JOIN "Users" ON "Attendances"."UserId" = "Users"._id
WHERE
"Attendances".attended = '2018-09-21' AND
"Attendances".location = 'Squirrel Hill' AND
"Attendances".teacher = 'Doe, John' AND
"Attendances"."classTitle" = 'Yoga 1'
ORDER BY "Users"."lastName", "Users"."firstName";
The problem: my results (attendeeList) are getting returned as []. When I run the same query using pgAdmin, I get one row:
_id UserId name
40 24601 "Doe, John"
Anyone have any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

I submitted the example above as an Issue on Sequelize's Github repo as I was able to make it work with a query that did not include an INNER JOIN.
For my situation, pg-native is a better fit (considering ripping out sequelize elsewhere as it's slower)...
const client = new PGNativeClient();
client.connect(config.sequelize.uri, err => {
if(err) {
res.status(401).json({ message: 'Not able to connect to database to get list of attendees.' });
return;
}
const sql = `
SELECT
"Attendances"._id,
"Attendances"."UserId",
"Users"."lastName" || ', ' || "Users"."firstName" AS name
FROM
"Attendances" INNER JOIN "Users" ON "Attendances"."UserId" = "Users"._id
WHERE
"Attendances".attended = $1::DATE AND
"Attendances".location = $2 AND
"Attendances".teacher = $3 AND
"Attendances"."classTitle" = $4
ORDER BY "Users"."lastName", "Users"."firstName";`;
const { attended, location, teacher, classTitle } = req.query;
client.query(sql, [attended, location, teacher, classTitle], (err, rows) => {
if(err) {
res.status(424).json({ message: 'Not able to retrieve attendees from database (but connected successfully).' });
return;
}
res.status(200).json(rows);
});
