"dataValues" is not allowed by JOI.validate() - node.js

Question

Here is code for User model with JOI (14.3) validation. The code used to be working when creating new user but it seems got flu recently and throws out error of xxx not allowed:
require('dotenv').config({path: process.cwd() +'\\config\\.env'});
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const moment = require('moment');
const Joi = require('joi');
const Sql = require('sequelize');
const db = require("../startup/db");
const User = db.define('user', {
name: {type: Sql.STRING,
allowNull: false,
min: 2,
max: 50,
},
email: {type: Sql.STRING,
isEmail: true
},
cell: {type: Sql.STRING,
allowNull: false,
min: 10,
max: 20,
},
cell_country_code: {type: Sql.STRING,
allowNull: false
},
comp_name: {type: Sql.STRING
},
status: {type: Sql.STRING,
allowNull: false,
isIn: ['active', 'blocked', 'inactive', 'pending', 'unverified']
},
role: {type: Sql.STRING,
allowNull: false
},
device_id: {type: Sql.STRING, //maybe empty when the user is initially created.
},
user_data: {type: Sql.JSONB
},
last_updated_by_id: {type: Sql.INTEGER},
fort_token: {type: Sql.STRING,
allowNull: false,
min: 20 //64 for production
},
createdAt: Sql.DATE,
updatedAt: Sql.DATE
}, {
indexes: [
{
//For same fort_token, name to be unique
unique: true,
fields: ['name', 'fort_token']
}, {
//unique cell
//unique: true,
fields: ['cell_country_code', 'cell', 'status']
}, {
fields: ['cell_country_code', 'cell']
}, {
//email
fields: ['email']
}, {
fields: ['device_id']
}, {
fields: ['status']
}, {
fields: ['fort_token']
}
]
});
function validateUser(user) {
const schema = {
name: Joi.string()
.min(2)
.max(50)
.required()
.trim(),
cell: Joi.string()
.min(10)
.max(20)
.trim()
.required()
.error(new Error('该手机号有误！')),
cell_country_code: Joi.string()
.trim()
.required(),
role: Joi.string()
.required()
.trim(),
email: Joi.string()
.email()
.allow("")
.optional()
};
return Joi.validate(user, schema);
};
Here is the error:

error in new user
Here is the code for creating new user:
try {
user = new User(_.pick(req.body, ["name", "cell", "cell_country_code", "email", "role" ]));
const { error } = validateUser(user); //<<====== throws error with JOI.validate()
console.log("error in user validate : ", error);
if (error) {console.log("error in new user "); return res.status(400).send(error.details[0].message)};
I have no clue what the validation error is about.

You need to pass option with "allowUnknown:true" as the third argument of validate function
