Mongodb Pivot

[ithuis]

Hi, I am new to Laravel workflow. I was hesitant in using it because we use MongoDB.
When I looked into it, there seemed to be MongoDB compatibility using the config file.
The basic workflow works, but the child workflow hits the ->pivot. This is not available in MongoDB.
Any ideas on how to bypass this problem?

I will have to look into how it would be fixed. Thank you for reporting the issue!

@ithuis Unfortunately, it looks like Laravel Workflow has diverged too far from what MongoDB can easily support. I explored how much additional code would be required, but it turned out to be substantial and would add significant overhead in terms of testing and maintenance.

I know this may not be what some were hoping for, but if proper MongoDB support can’t be implemented fully and correctly, it’s better not to include it at all. Others are, of course, welcome to work on this, and I’d gladly accept PRs in the future.

For now, I’ll be removing the existing partial MongoDB support to avoid confusion and prevent others from spending time on something incomplete.

Thanks for your understanding.
