Query an array of nested documents - node.js

Question

I got this document:
{
"_id" : "111",
"email" : "michael#gmail.com",
"username" : "michael098",
"groups" : [
{
"_id" : "222"
"groupName" : "family",
"groupMembers" : [
{
"_id" : "333"
"name" : "Liam"
},
{
"_id" : "444"
"name" : "Noah"
}
]
},
{
"_id" : "555"
"groupName" : "friends",
"groupMembers" : [
{
"_id" : "666"
"name" : "Oliver"
}
]
}
]
}
I am trying to delete 1 group member by _id, for example if I get userId="111", groupId="222" and groupMemberId="444" the group member with _id="444" will delete.
Example of the document after this delete request:
{
"_id" : "111",
"email" : "michael#gmail.com",
"username" : "michael098",
"groups" : [
{
"_id" : "222"
"groupName" : "family",
"groupMembers" : [
{
"_id" : "333"
"name" : "Liam"
}
]
},
{
"_id" : "555"
"groupName" : "friends",
"groupMembers" : [
{
"_id" : "666"
"name" : "Oliver"
}
]
}
]
}
My attempt (with express and mongoose):
router.delete(
"/:userId/:groupId/:groupMemberId",
catchAsync(async (req, res) => {
const { userId, groupId, groupMemberId } = req.params;
const updatedUser = await User.findByIdAndUpdate(
userId,
{ $pull: { "groups.$.groupMembers": { _id: groupMemberId } } },
{ new: true }
);
res.send({ updatedUser });
})
);
The response from this request: I get an error: “The positional operator did not find the match needed from the query.”
