Unknown command line arg --rest ??

Hey,

Love the project have been using it for years. For some reason lately I have started getting the following error when starting:

Starting a MongoDB deployment to test against...mongodb-runner:bin:mongodb-runner-worker.js Unexpected error. Exiting. { Error: Command failed: mongod --smallfiles --noprealloc --setParameter enableTestCommands=1 --port 27017 --dbpath C:\mongodb\data\standalone --logpath C:\Users\mikec/.mongodb/runner/standalone.log --rest --nojournal

I think I read something that the --rest argument was removed from the latest mongodb, perhaps why its started happening?

@mikecann Thanks! You're correct. --rest and several other CLI flags were deprecated.

🤔 I updated to remove all of those last fall. What version of mongodb-runner are you on? We're now using latest, mongodb-runner@4.7.1, everywhere.

[mikecann]

@imlucas ye thats the version of mongodb-runner im on too. I had to set an environment var to MONGODB_VERSION=3.2.22 to prevent the crashing 😄

[imlucas]

Interesting...

What OS and version are you running this on?

[mikecann]

Windows 10

@mikecann Thanks. Looks like some other probs to bring in the new year... so I'll try to look at all of this over the weekend.
