NODE-4455 Description
What problem are you facing?
Getting the below error from listCollections function when trying to fetch the collections from an Atlas connection. This is not happening for other mongo connections.
const mongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient; const url = 'mongodb+srv://vidya:vidya%402219@cluster0.ea8nbt4.mongodb.net'; //'mongodb://localhost:27017' console.log(`> Connecting to mongoDB @ ${url}`); mongoClient.connect(url, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true }) .then(client => { if (!client) { console.log('> Failed to connect mongoDB - no client'); } else { console.log('> Connected'); db = client.db('test'); db.listCollections({ name: { $not: { $regex: /system.+$/i } } }).toArray() .then(collections => { console.log(collections); client.close(); }); } }).catch(err => { console.log(`> Failed to connect mongoDB - ${err}`); process.exit(); });
