      I try to migrate my scripts from legacy shell to new mongosh. In a class constructor I call db.hostInfo(). I cannot read any properties from result:

       

      class HostInfo {
         constructor() {
            this.info = (async () => { return db.hostInfo(); })();
         }
      }
      
      h = new HostInfo()
      
      typeof h.info.system
       => undefined
      

      I tried several variants, none of them is working:

      (async () => { return db.adminCommand({ hostInfo: 1 }) })();
      (async () => { return JSON.parse(db.hostInfo()) })();
      (async () => { return db.hostInfo().toString() })();
      (async () => { return db.hostInfo().system })();
      (async () => { return db.hostInfo().system.toString() })();
      

      According to https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongodb-shell/write-scripts/limitations/ I would it expect to work (it was working fine in legacy shell)

      Kind Regards
