I tried to do the exercise and the first thing I encountered is copy/pasting did not seem to want to work for me … so I tried to enter them manually one at a time into the command window … it worked fine until I got to the end where I needed to add the “ordered” bit and then it kept tossing errors when I tried to do the last bit of the code …\
}
],
{
“ordered”: false
}
);
and kept saying I had a syntax issue. Not entirely sure what I was not doing correctly.
Try to remove quotes on ordered
From docs:
db.collection.insertMany(
[ <document 1> , <document 2>, … ],
{
writeConcern: ,
ordered:
}
)
The lesson does not mention using the syntax “writeConcern” … it just says “ordered” false . When I tried it without the quotes on ordered as suggested there was no change. I styll get the message [js] SyntaxError:expected expression, got ‘)’ and am not sure what to do now.
can you run it from the command line?
mongo “” --username m001-student --password m001-mongodb-basics insertMany-unordered.js
