$addFieldsintroduced in version Mongo 3.4. Since you commented that you are using mongo 3.2.9, the specified request will not work.

If for some reason you cannot update the mongo version, you need to use the following approach, in which you need to iterate over each document and set a new field

Post.find({}).forEach(function(post){
  post.findOneAndUpdate({_id: post._id}, 
      {$set: {userName: post.author.firstName + " " + post.author.lastName }})
});
