mongorestore will not use the database specified in the URI when restoring from files

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...
