Help!! the result of db.dropDatabase is "true" but the database and it's contents still exist when I check from the terminal.

[Emmanuel Olaojo]

after(function(done){
  mongo.connect(db, function (err, db) {
    if(err) return done(err);

    db.dropDatabase(function (err, res){
      if(err) return done(err);

      console.log("result:", res); // output = "result: true" but the database is really still there.
      db.close(done);

    });

  });
});

Hi,

Could you provide more details:

• What is your MongoDB version, your driver version, and the storage engine you use (MMAPv1 or WiredTiger)
• What is your deployment topology (standalone, replica set, or sharded cluster)
• Can you still query/connect to the dropped database?
• Is this still an issue when using the mongo shell?
• Do you drop your database often?
• Is this an intermittent issue, or does this happen all the time?

Best regards,
Kevin
