Working on an open source project (omniauth-identity), trying to setup specs (in Ruby / RSpec) that utilize MongoDB. The documentation for Mongoid is incorrect.
The documentation claims:
The simplest configuration is as follows, which configures Mongoid to talk to a MongoDB server at "localhost:27017" and use the database named "mongoid".
This is a lie, as that "simplest" configuration is not valid as shown:
development:
clients:
default:
database: mongoid
hosts:
- localhost:27017
To wit, when I attempt to use that config (slightly modified as I am in the "test" environment):
test:
clients:
default:
database: mongoid_test
hosts:
- localhost:27017
I get the following error:
Mongoid::Errors::NoClientConfig: message:
No configuration could be found for a client named 'secondary'.
summary:
When attempting to create the new client, Mongoid could not find a client configuration for the name: 'secondary'. This is necessary in order to know the host, port, and options needed to connect.
resolution:
Double check your mongoid.yml to make sure under the clients key that a configuration exists for 'secondary'. If you have set the configuration programatically, ensure that 'secondary' exists in the configuration hash.
To which I have to say... if "secondary" is required... please document how it should look!
