running the ensureIndexes.js file generated

You need to actually run the ensureIndexes.js file generated programatically.

You need to pass in a reference to an open Db object from mongodb (needs to have .ensureIndex method):

var mongodb = require('mongodb');
(new mongodb.MongoClient()).connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1/mydb', function(err, db){
	require('./ensureIndexes.js')(db);
};
