Hi Team,
I am trying to setup a connection to mongo using the MongoDB demo application as a starting point
I get the error:
"The GuidRepresentation for the reader is CSharpLegacy, which requires the binary sub type to be UuidLegacy, not UuidStandard."
The only reference I found to this error was
You are using “Legacy” API of the driver which is present only for backward compatibility purposes.
Consider using the regular API
Any suggestions how to resolve it?
Many thanks,
Andy.
We are experiencing the same issue. wondering if the API version needs to be updated for existing collections. Works fine when you create a collection from Outsystems.
I've tested one of my applications that demos the MongoDB connector, as well as the "Try Now" in the connector itself, and I'm not seeing any errors. Can you share an OML that reproduces the issue?
Hi Andrew,
To replicate the issue have an existing MongoDB collection that was created with a recent version of the DB. This collection will have a GUidRepresentation of UuidStandard. If you then try to run MngCollection_List against this collection you will get the error in the attached screen shot because the the component is looking to run against the legacy UuidLegacy GuidRepresentation.
Looks like to support users of the newer Guid standard and the Legacy standard an option will need to be in place for developers to choose which Guid is being used on the Database for the latest drivers (ie 2.11) this is

for the current driver looks like a toggle

Digging deeper into the current component we see that the older format supoprted by the 2.4.2 API is an issue when connecting to any more recent MongoDB instances. The component will fail on most API calls where GUIDRepresentation is Standard.
I've started publishing an updated version of this component so that we can deliver the clients apps. This uses latest API version, latest .Net Framework and updated dnsclient. By default supports the latest MongoDB and uses latest Guid formats.
I've kept where possible the same server action names to make it easier for anyone updating.
