Connection string interpreted literally

[murtyjones]

First of all, great library! This is such a common use case that I can't believe there aren't go-to solutions out there. Hopefully this library becomes one.

I noticed that when using a connection string, e.g. /test?retryWrites=true, it should reference an existing database named test in mongo, but instead results in a new database being created with the name /test?retryWrites=true. Seems like the params from the ? on are being interpreted literally. Don't know if it's an issue with this library or a dependency.

Hello @murtyjones,
Thank you for kind words!
Yes, I confirm, this is a bug in mongo-seeding. I will try to fix it in a few hours and release a new version 🙂

I've fixed the error and updated dependencies, but unfortunately I cannot do the release right now because of the following issue: DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#26594
Can we wait a bit for a new release of mongo types? I think it will take one day at most. If this is urgent for you, then I can downgrade them and release new version.

Thanks for using mongo-seeding!

Thanks for the quick fix! In my case, ?retryWrites=true wasn't needed so I just took it out.

Just a quick note: The new version of Mongo Seeding has been just released!
