Regex in collection validator and mongorestore

[Анатолий Смакаев]

Hi.

I have a trouble while restoring db with collection that contains regex in validator in MongoDB 3.2.3.

I use first example from document validation documentation on test db:

db.createCollection( "contacts",

   { validator: { $or:

      [

         { phone: { $type: "string" } },

         { email: { $regex: /@mongodb\.com$/ } },

         { status: { $in: [ "Unknown", "Incomplete" ] } }

      ]

   }

} )

Result is ok. Create a dump:

mongodump --db test

Then I restore it:

mongorestore --db test1 dump/test/

and have an error:

Failed: test1.contacts: error creating collection test1.contacts: error running create command: $regex has to be a string

Looks like mongorestore expect $regex to be only a string contrary to documentation. Of course now I use a string pattern for regex but this situation is strange.

Hi,

This $regex issue should be fixed in MongoDB v3.2.4+ (mongorestore).

Also, worth mentioning that the latest stable release for MongoDB v3.2.x is version 3.2.11. See also Upgrade to the Latest Revision of MongoDB

Kind regards,

Wan.
