      db.system.js.save({_id:"foo", value:"var root=this;"}) db.loadServerScripts()
    • Build 9 (09/18/15)

      When saving script into system.js, if the script starts with the var keyword (example, var root = this;), the script will fail to load when trying to use the script from a map reduce or even db.loadServerScripts() from the shell produces:

      JavaScript execution failed: Error: 16722 JavaScript execution failed: SyntaxError: Unexpected token var at src/mongo/shell/db.js:L1001

      The was not a problem in 2.2.x, and doesn't appear to be a problem in a 64-bit Linux build (2.4.3).
