how to configure mongo.shell.path using docker container?

[sweetim]

Tried the command from #311

"mongo.shell.path": "docker exec -it mongodb mongo"

but when execute the scrapbook still complains about

This functionality requires the Mongo DB shell, but we could not find it. Please make sure it is on your path or you have set the 'mongo.shell.path' VS Code setting to point to the Mongo shell executable file (not folder). Attempted command: "docker exec -it mongodb mongo"

May I know how can I configure to make it works?

Hi @sweetim, there seems to be a legitimate bug in this use-case. I can repro this.

1. Do you have docker setup with the mongo image?
2. Builld the docker image to a container named mongodb.
   This command should work on the powershell.

Yes, i have the docker setup already, and can be seen below (obtain using docker ps)

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED              STATUS              PORTS                      NAMES
34f327299918        mongo:4             "docker-entrypoint.s…"   About a minute ago   Up About a minute   0.0.0.0:27017->27017/tcp   mongodb

when I tried them on my wsl or Windows cmd, I could get the response from mongodb

Enable MongoDB's free cloud-based monitoring service, which will then receive and display
metrics about your deployment (disk utilization, CPU, operation statistics, etc).

The monitoring data will be available on a MongoDB website with a unique URL accessible to you
and anyone you share the URL with. MongoDB may use this information to make product
improvements and to suggest MongoDB products and deployment options to you.

To enable free monitoring, run the following command: db.enableFreeMonitoring()
To permanently disable this reminder, run the following command: db.disableFreeMonitoring()

Fixed by #1162.

There is a new "mongo.shell.args" setting which should give you what you need.
