$ mongosh <url> -u <username> -p <password> variety.js  db_name "var collection = 'order', limit = 1"          
Current Mongosh Log ID:	6451050052c79839df450684

I am not sure what did I do wrong here. Please help me. Thanks.

This is not working either:

$ mongosh <url> -u <username> -p <password>  --eval "var collection = 'order', limit = 1" variety.js --quiet

Looks like latest variety.js is not working with Mongo shell v1.8?

Hello Jibran! Thank you for using Variety.

Looks like latest variety.js is not working with Mongo shell v1.8?

Alas, that is indeed quite possible. Variety's MongoDB "driver" (?) is quite out-of-date.

Certainly, upgrading this and other other dependencies to newer versions is on the docket! I recall that I tried to upgrade this particular dependency which is causing you problems and it was not able to be done "effortlessly." If you wanted to take a stab, I wouldn't tell you no…otherwise, it will have to wait for me or someone else to attempt a fix.

Best,
James

Hi,
The link you shared is not working. Also, can you pls tell me with which Mongo shell version will variety work with?

[JamesCropcho]

The link you shared is not working.

Ah, thank you for letting me know. I have removed it. I was not aware that Dependabot warnings for public repositories are private.

which Mongo shell version will variety work with?

I am not sure that the latest version is which will work with Variety. However, it looks like the latest version which was part of the automated CI and test suite was v3.2 (cf https://github.com/variety/variety/blob/master/.travis.yml#L12). However, Variety may indeed work with newer MongoDB versions.

I'm thrilled that Variety continues to be used and to have a community. I do admit that the project is need of some serious love by me and/or others—not necessarily to add features but even simply to modernize it, i.e. 1) make it work with recent versions of things; and 2) ensure that the dependencies lack published security exploits/warnings.

I sincerely wish I could do the above this very afternoon, but truth be told I have a number of unrelated tasks presently on my docket which have rightfully declared themselves to be of superseding priority. ―James
