#mongodb logs for Sunday the 24th of November, 2013
[02:28:56] <FatBoyXPC> Went looking through modifiers came up short. I want to update a specific document. The field I want to update is also an object. So I kind of want to addToSet but this isn't an array, it's just another object. How can I accomplish this?
[02:31:47] <FatBoyXPC> For clarification, my document looks like: {_id:objectid(), name:"etc", someObj:{key:value,key2:val2}} something like that
[02:32:09] <FatBoyXPC> what I want to do is add another key/value to the "someObj" but I don't want to overwrite it.
[02:37:26] <drjeats> db.yourcollection.update({'_id':id}, {'$set': {'someObj.key3':val3}}) should do it
[02:43:18] <FatBoyXPC> the issue is i want to add a bunch of these adn don't want to type obj.to all of them
[02:45:00] <FatBoyXPC> I don't want to overwrite AND I know what someobj si but I'll have ot be adding it for like 200+ entries
[04:18:10] <Drewch> Can someone tell me if there's something wrong with my TTL index? https://gist.github.com/Drewch/7623265
[04:18:35] <Drewch> I have one entry (it's in the gist), and I'm expecting it to be expired from the table, but it's still there
[04:26:33] <Drewch> People in stack overflow talking about seeing TTLMontior running in the logs, but I don't see that at all
[09:52:44] <sikor_sxe> hello, i have a problem with the node driver (MongoClient) for some reason it fails to perform simple find() operations. "collection.find().toArray(function(err, result) {});" will result in a TypeError, claiming there is no method "toArray()". (although this code used to work) Anyone got a hint what might be wrong? http://pastebin.com/rQFqVzW2
[10:24:09] <sikor_sxe> a new driver version was released yesterday, and as far as i understand it, some autodoc stuff removed crucial () statements
[10:28:38] <kali> sorry, i'm not very fluent on node.js... what do you expect when doing collection.find().toArray(function(err, result) {}); ?
[10:29:07] <kali> a blocking call on the find(), i assume, but why bother make the toArray() async ?
[10:38:42] <sikor_sxe> the call is not blocking, when toArray() or sort() are called set, i assume it's just using their callbacks
[16:20:45] <Nodex> quick question about the returns from Mongodb in a find (php) if you have a sec ?
[16:24:23] <Derick> but it's marked as "won't fix" - ie, don't use keys that consist of numbers, as PHP can't make the distinction
[16:24:45] <Nodex> I need the numeric keys - I am not querying on it, it's simply storing a schema and the numbers represent things
[16:25:27] <Nodex> current;y I just use JSON_FORCE_OBJECT on json_encode() but it's a little hacky and I would like to simply output the whole object without having to loop each key/value
[16:25:51] <Nodex> if it's never going to be fixed I'll have to store them elsewhere as Json strings I guess
[16:27:24] <Nodex> the strange thing is this... if you store {"0":1,"1":2} it comes out as [1,2] but if you store "1":1,"2":2, it comes out as an object {"1":1,"2":2}
[16:27:51] <Nodex> it only effects arrays that START at zero and are concurrent - any skips or breaks and it stores the key/value as an object
[16:28:29] <Derick> it's how the driver detects associative arrays (objects) vs numerical arrays in JSON
[16:28:54] <Nodex> but I wouldve' thought that if php can't distinct between numbers and strings as keys (when they're stringified numbers) then whether they start at zero or not wuld be irrelevant
[16:29:51] <Nodex> it wouldn#t be a problem but I ingerited a structure that starts with Zero's in 3 out of 20 keys haah
[21:21:18] <Drewch> Can someone tell me if there's something wrong with my TTL index? https://gist.github.com/Drewch/7623265
[22:06:29] <joannac> check the example here http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/expire-data/#expire-after-a-certain-number-of-seconds
[22:08:18] <Drewch> I've also tried straight from Mongo though, following that example and using that date type
[22:19:58] <joannac> You're not going to see it in the mongod log unless you've changed the log level
[22:21:48] <floatingpoint> how would I go about printing a value returned from a findOne() query (that is limited to a single field)
[22:29:05] <joannac> floatingpoint: same way you would with a normal find() -- give it a projection argument
[22:29:45] <floatingpoint> joannac like this: var somedata = UserLib.getUserPassword(name, function(err) { console.log(err) });
[22:30:07] <floatingpoint> I end up with TypeError: object is not a function when I try to load the data
[22:34:29] <Lobosque> how do I change the values of a collection returned by a find? My try is var test = Fretes.find({}).map(function(i) { i.from = 'test'; }); but test comes as undefined.
[22:36:10] <floatingpoint> joannac sorry. here's the statement: return users.findOne({ username: username }, { password: true });
[22:37:32] <floatingpoint> joannac http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.collection.findOne/
[22:40:05] <floatingpoint> joannac ok. how would I find out what it returns? I expect it to return a document containing a single field
[22:41:09] <floatingpoint> so, if I did: users.findOne({ username: username }, { password: 1 }).password; a string would be returned, correct?
[22:48:15] <joannac> floatingpoint: then you're messing something up when you set up your db connection, or your collection, or something
[23:08:35] <floatingpoint> http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/api-generated/mongoclient.html
[23:09:33] <synesp1> I have an issue I need some advice on - I have a collection where I write a document for every click in a web app. Suddenly, the clicks weren't being written and there were no errors from the insert.
[23:12:15] <synesp1> I'm going to wait for it to happen again, I also tried testing in the test environment and it wouldn't write either
[23:12:23] <synesp1> problem is, I did the remove and restarted mongod (so im not sure which fixed it)
[23:14:13] <joannac> if you're writing a document per update though, you're going to be generating a lot of i/o
