connect() method does not re-use options from command line

Details

    • Needed
    • Hide
      The legacy shell inherited the {{--tls}} option when creating new connections programmatically using {{connect()}} or {{[new] Mongo()}}.

      As far as we could tell, that was the only inherited option.

      For consistency, mongosh does not do this anymore, and instead the {{tls}} flag needs to be set explicitly in the connection string passed to {{connect()}} or {{[new] Mongo}} in order to enable TLS.

      This should be documented.

    Description

      Steps to repro:

      • Connect to a TLS-using mongod with --tls (not the connection string flag)
      • Use connect(db.getMongo()._uri)
      • See it fail because connect did not re-use the --tls flag from the command line

      Generally speaking, I think we need to check how command line arguments affect connect() and [new] Mongo() and make sure that we emulate the legacy shell’s behavior (connect uses the Mongo constructor under the hood, i.e. they have the same behavior here).
