      Hi!

      Using this code:

      index.js
      var MongoClient = require("mongodb").MongoClient;

var mc = new MongoClient();
mc.connect("mongodb://mongodb-01/boomerang",function(err,db) {
        var coll = db.collection("webcollections",{ strict: true });

});

      I accomplished breaking the mongodb node driver, due to a typo in the collection.js sourcecode:

      bash
      Unable to find source-code formatter for language: shell. Available languages are: actionscript, ada, applescript, bash, c, c#, c++, cpp, css, erlang, go, groovy, haskell, html, java, javascript, js, json, lua, none, nyan, objc, perl, php, python, r, rainbow, ruby, scala, sh, sql, swift, visualbasic, xml, yaml
      $> node index.js

/home/andreas/tmp/mg/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongo_client.js:386
          throw err
                ^
ReferenceError: utils is not defined

var MongoClient = require("mongodb").MongoClient;

var mc = new MongoClient();
mc.connect("mongodb://mongodb-01/boomerang",function(err,db) {
        var coll = db.collection("webcollections",{ strict: true });

});
$> cat node_modules/mongodb/package.json | jq .version
"2.0.5"
$>

      Same is also true in "2.0.2"

      The offending line is:

      collection.js
       if(typeof callback != 'function') {
      throw utils.toError(f("A callback is required in strict mode. While getting collection %s.", collectionName));
    }

      There is not variable utils as such defined in the code, however require() points to a utils.js. I haven't had the chance yet to look at the code or understand it or contribute to it but slowly considering it.

      Anyway thanks in advance!
