Hello everyone,

I tried to fix this problem myself but I just can't get it to work and you guys were great help for me on the last problems I encountered, so I give it a shot again. :P

I worked through the "D Web Development" book by Kai Nacke and I tried to setup a MongoDB connection for my application.

I'm running vibe.d on version 0.9.5.

this.client = connectMongoDB("mongodb://root:abc@127.0.0.1:27017");
auto db = this.client.getDatabase("test");
MongoCollection users = db["users"];
foreach(d; users.find(Bson.emptyObject)) {
    d.writeln;
}

This is close to the code I found in the vibe.d documentation. But it gives me a huge error message like this:

MongoDB reply was longer than expected, skipping the rest: 223 vs. 36

It asks me if the database exists in this error message and the answer is yes, because I can access it via mongo-express and I can see that the database, the collection and a user is in there.

My MongoDB setup is a docker environment running a mongodb container and a mongodb-express container via docker-compose.

version: '3.1'

services:
  db:
    image: mongo
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 27017:27017
    environment:
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: abc

  mongo-express:
    image: mongo-express
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8081:8081
    environment:
      ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME: root
      ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD: abc
      ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_URL: mongodb://root:abc@db:27017/

I exposed the 27017 port to the host system, which should be sufficient for a connection via the given connection url mongodb://root:abc@127.0.0.1:27017.

The only difference from my setup to the one in the book or in the documentation is the docker setup. But I can't figure out why this should be a problem.

Does somebody know what's up with this problem?

Thanks everyone in advance and happy holidays!
