            <title>[SERVER-38338] Add default &quot;mongo&quot; shell helper method to inform user of error</title>
                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-38338</link>
                <project id="10000" key="SERVER">Core Server</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;Currently, new users who may not be very familiar with a shell environment can easily find themselves in a mongo shell, such as verifying they&apos;ve correctly added it to their path. Then, they may not exit the mongo shell but instead try to launch a new shell or connect to a database. This results in the following errors.&lt;/p&gt;

Adding a default to shellHelper would help ameliorate this and provide better feedback to our newer users.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                            <comment id="3535017" author="robert.guo" created="Thu, 17 Dec 2020 19:26:40 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;We are deprecating &lt;tt&gt;mongo&lt;/tt&gt; in favor of a new &lt;tt&gt;mongosh&lt;/tt&gt; shell: &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/mongodb-js/mongosh&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://github.com/mongodb-js/mongosh&lt;/a&gt; with much improved usability. Please consider giving it a try and let us know of any issues through the MONGOSH Jira project.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="2096816" author="kevin.pulo@10gen.com" created="Thu, 20 Dec 2018 08:27:58 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;Note that &lt;a href=&quot;https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-21493&quot; title=&quot;Double quotes in shellHelper args aren&amp;#39;t handled properly&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;SERVER-21493&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;SERVER-21493&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt; means that using a shellHelper to solve this will fail (in the sense that the shell helper won&apos;t be run, and the user will again get a confusing error message) if the user enters a command which contains double quotes, which is not uncommon for these kinds of mongo/mongodump/mongoimport/etc commands.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also, defining a &quot;mongo&quot; shellHelper will unfortunately subtly break interactive commands such as &lt;tt&gt;mongo = db.getMongo()&lt;/tt&gt;.  Whereas &lt;tt&gt;m = db.getMongo()&lt;/tt&gt; &amp;#8212; which ought to be equivalent &amp;#8212; will (confusingly) succeed.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

We see it frequently in the courses.&#160;&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="2081620" author="nathan.leniz" created="Wed, 5 Dec 2018 19:06:56 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;In particular this one name seems to cause a significant amount of confusion for brand new users with no shell experience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wholly agree that we&apos;d get a lot more mileage out of making error messages more helpful in general. The stars would be a &quot;did you mean&quot; type approach like git, kicking in if whatever the user typed resulted in an error.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
