Embedded mongosh log in Compass does not populate like standalone mongosh

    • Type: Icon: Story Story
    • Resolution: Works as Designed
    • Priority: Icon: Major - P3 Major - P3
    • No version
    • Affects Version/s: 1.28.1
    • Component/s: Compass, Embedded Shell
    • None
    • Environment:
      MacOS 10.14.6
    • Not Needed

      Problem Statement/Rationale

      What is going wrong?

      No log lines recorded in ~/.mongodb/mongosh/mongosh_repl_history when using embedded mongosh in Compass

       

      Compass itself does not have a log. Since standalone mongosh has a logging function, it would be useful. Also, commands from Compass' embedded mongosh need to be differentiated from standalone mongosh (unless the commands will go into a completely separate file).

      Steps to Reproduce

      How could an engineer replicate the issue you’re reporting?

      Open Compass and connect to a database.

      Open embedded mongosh

      type "show dbs" and any commands

      Expected Results

      What do you expect to happen?

      See user-entered commands in the mongosh_repl_history file, preferably with a timestamp.

      Actual Results

      What do you observe is happening?

      File is unchanged (blank with 0 bytes).

      Additional Notes

      Any additional information that may be useful to include.

      Please also check on Compass Windows platform also. Log file is in a different directory.

      Is the .mongodb/mongosh/config file option for useTelemetry working? Does telemetry include log data? Either true|false, nothing is logged in 
      mongosh_repl_history.
