Problem Description

mongorestore will not use the database specified in the URI when restoring from files. Instead, you will need to manually specify the target database name with "--db" to have the restore working correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

Move inside a folder with BSON files to be restored to a database DB_NAME to be created and run the following command (assuming the URI is valid):

mongorestore --uri "mongodb+srv://${MONGO_USER}:${MONGO_PASS}@${MONGO_HOST}/${DB_NAME}" .

Expected Results

Restore operation should perform normally as if the following command was run:

mongorestore --uri "mongodb+srv://${MONGO_USER}:${MONGO_PASS}@${MONGO_HOST}" --db ${DB_NAME} .

Actual Results

Restore operation fails with messages:

don't know what to do with file "FILE.bson", skipping...
