I appreciate the desire to introduce people to meteor.toys -- but now that I've visited the site, I would like to disable the console message so I don't see it whenever my app starts. An explicit configuration parameter or something would be helpful. As it is, I'm not really (yet) using Mongol for much, and seeing this message over and over makes it more likely that I'll just remove the package.

Any changes I make give me this error but, despite the error, my changes are saved properly. I just installed so I should be on 0.5.4.

The error at the server is:

(...) yadda yadda.

I'd love to have a look inside the package to see what's going on, but in this repo I can't seem to find any code yet.

Is the tool itself available on github as well? Or does it just have to be pushed in its' latest version?

Thanks & best wishes

Daniel

It seems in the newest version the ability to explicitly declare what collections you would like to see in Mongol was deprecated due to the new functionality in #9. The problem is that I found that feature useful as I have 40 collections and only wanted to keep track of the main 5 collections I have. Is it possible to add that feature back as an option?

Most recent commits appear to come from "Main".

git config --global user.name "Max Savin"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global github.user msavin

PS: nice seeing you at the Meteor meetups lately. Have you moved to the Bay Area? https://github.com/msavin and https://www.linkedin.com/in/msavin say "New York".

I install tabular table package

TabularTable.User = new Tabular.Table({
    name: "UserList",
    collection: Meteor.users,
    columns: [
        {data: "username", title: "User Name"},
        {
            title: '<i class="fa fa-bars"></i>',
            tmpl: Meteor.isClient && Template.userAction
        }
    ]
});
// Work fine

But when install mongol, it is error on this.

tried this out - it only seems to pick up collections defined in the main app, nothing from packages.

is there a way to specify what collections to monitor?

Getting the following error - Uncaught Error: No such template: Mongol_accountViewer

Also it's not displaying

A simple '@media print' section that set #Mongol to hidden should do the trick...

It automatically signs out on the update. Maybe its because of the namespace?

Just thought I'd mention, Meteor has an internal function in core that does exactly this, it's called Meteor._get. e.g. Meteor._get(Meteor.user(), 'profile', 'name')

I get the following error when trying to use a collection of mine (Orders):

An instance of the Orders collection has an array in it like this:

{
    lineItems: []
}

I use a transform function which puts a reference to the Order itself in each of the lineItems in that array. I either need a way to prevent Mongol from using transformed-objects, or a way to delete that reference before Mongol attempts to use the objects for display.

Does not yet support namespaced collections

For example, I want to be able to add my ddp inspector in a new tab on mongol to show all the ddp activity that happens.

And then you can create another third-party package (like the other one you have) for another tab that shows all the Sessions.

Some other guy could build another package to give you the server's memory usage/CPU load, etc.

What do you think?

This is not a Mongol specific issue, but it has an effect on what I want to do to.

I'd like to be able to export Mongol, so that users can have a little API to modify Mongol's behaviour. e.g.

Mongol.beforeInsert = function() { ... };
Mongol.hideCollection("posts");

But whether we want to or not, we can't export Mongol, because in debug mode, the only thing that gets exported to the global scope is Packages['msavin:Mongol'].Mongol but not plain Mongol. So we can provide an API if devs are willing to interact with that object.

We could do it through dedicated session keys, which has the advantage that devs don't really have to think about development/production environments -- just drop Session.set('Mongol_hideCollections',['posts','comments']) into the code and forget about it. Of course there will be a few random Session keys in production apps that do nothing, but that's not a big deal.

Thoughts?

Solved problem with pre background-color being white by adding:

MongoInspector pre {background-color: #222222;}

Could perhaps be specified as part of the Session.set
Nice tool !

I am running into errors with Mongol with updating, etc.

Here is the test project:

git clone https://github.com/yogiben/meteor-starter.git
meteor add msavin:mongol

I can see mongol but then editing posts, etc doesn't work

It looks really nice man.

Why do you have this set to scroll? Shouldn't it be hidden? I'm getting an empty scrollbar on the UI and I'm using Chrome (on a Ubuntu 14.04 machine).

I have this working for the collections I have created, but it does not work for Meteor.users, throws this client error.

I can run Meteor.users.find({}) in the browser console without issue.

i've just added the mongol package, while having the security package in the project

the app crashes with this error:

Error: The collections argument must be a Mongo.Collection instance or an array of them

this is caused when I'm trying to apply permissions to the Meteor users collection

any thoughts?

seems to lead to an error.

The issue seems to be that the "duplicate" - code runs through all the objects' properties as returned by Collection.find() . But unfortunately I wrap those with a class and additional methods using meteors' "transform" - function.

As I don't see the functions and additional data fields added by the constructor in the json for updating the documents via mongol I think that there might be another way / maybe a way to skip the transform-function?

Best wishes

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Or should I open this bug with @GroundMeteor instead?

Kind of a minor thing - I like to copy and paste the _id of things - it seems after I updated I can't do this any more (have to click "Update" then I can copy it)

(Great package btw)

We are using the collection-hooks package and after adding Mongol the hooks are no longer defined on the collections.

Is it possible to have some kind of querying feature in Mongol so that if your database is thousands of documents large, you can still easily find what you're looking for?

Im developping a mobile app and in my setup I use a small screen by default , and #MongoInspector has display:none on screens <768px.

woudl be nice to be able to initiate that on Session.set Mongol

Love the package!!

This is great to check you pub/sub on different pages!!

Hi Max!

I see some CSS glitches. Probably, they are conflicts with my App's CSS.

On the first image the Duplicate and Remove buttons are off. I see this issue in Chrome for MAC but not in Safari.
On the second image, you'll see that text is white when I hit Update button.

I'll try to troubleshoot these issues and let you know.

Uncaught ReferenceError: EJSON is not defined reporters.js?1426735142249:67

Not sure who gets the blame here but I'm going to guess gwendall:session-json might be involved since it's a related package that's installed by mongol.

Found this during Max's presentation at tonight's South Bay Meteor meetup.

I like your Session Inspector, but it shows the Mongol sessions in it.

Can we disable this or prevent Session Inspector from showing these? Better yet: wrap Session Inspector into Mongol!

Hey,

i just added the package

when i press Control + M

Nothing is displayed, the scripts are loaded,

Any ideas?

Not sure if this is actually a bug, but if you have Mongol visible/open, it prevents other Accounts-UI dialogs from working.

I had Mongol showing, tried to login/create a user in my app using the normal dialog on my app's navbar and it kept rejecting any attempts, citing 'invalid email'. This apparently occurs when there are multiple instances of {{> loginButtons }} on one page, or something.

Also do you need to install both packages.

For instance. I have two users and it own sees one. I have another collection that shows zero documents even thought it has documents which can be found using meteor mongo in the terminal.

I probably misunderstood the instructions after you upgraded to automatic recognition of collections. I set the Session.Mongol object to undefined to undo ny original Session settings. I have tried to remove and re-add Mongo several times without a solution. So, in summary, Mongol sees all my collections but not all my documents. Two of the collections that it began to see after I set Session.Mongol to undefined do not see new documents when they are added.

Start app not logged in.

Try to sign in from within Mongol mini-window.

Dialogs appear both in Mongol mini-window, and main window.

Log in using Mongol mini-window.

Sign-in happens, but login dialog in Mongol mini-window doesn't and cannot be closed.

Immediately after removing mongo inspector and adding mongol, the styles section of Chrome inspector doesn't show specific styles for elements on the page - it only show the box model (http://i.stack.imgur.com/BPFut.png). Removing mongol restores chrome's ability to show styles on the page. Quick note: I had your session inspector installed the entire time, if that helps

I get the error "TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'attachSchema'" attaching to Meteor.user while using aldeed:simple-schema and msavin:mongol together.

Thanks for awesome tool, but is it so nessesary to log this??
I like clean console and want see there errors only, or my debug info. Maybe some parameter in with Session would turn this off?

I am new to the whole environment - so I may be missing something obvious.
I get the message this app contains Mongol - however the app is not visible on screen.
Control + M does not work.
If I enter command to display mongol, it pops up on screen and says a collection not available. If this an error - report it on git hub.
So here is the report.
Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks in advance - looks like a great utility.

Here is my mongol config... I dont know why it is getting undefined.

if (Meteor.isClient) {
Session.set("Mongol", {
'collections': ['Posts'],
'display': true,
'opacity_normal': ".7",
'opacity_expand': ".9",
'disable_warning': "false"
});
}

Commented out the code to publish the new changes.

cc: @JackAdams @krawalli

When you update documents, it doesn't remove the omitted fields

Forgetting to the subscribe to published data (or the other way around) is an easy mistake to make. It would be nice if Mongol could show us a list of publications and allows us to subscribe to them as easy as clicking on them.

Here're some things that might be good place to start:

On the server there is a list of publications, here:

Meteor.server.publish_handlers

example:

{ 
meteor_autoupdate_clientVersions: [Function],
meteor.loginServiceConfiguration': [Function],
favorites: [Function],
favoritesByUser: [Function],
comments: [Function],
commentsByDoc: [Function],
commentsByUser: [Function],
notifications: [Function],
seoByRouteName: [Function],
adminCollection: [Function],
adminAuxCollections: [Function],
adminUsers: [Function],
adminUser: [Function],
'app-data': [Function],
user: [Function],
users: [Function],
admin_collections_Beacons: [Function],
admin_collections_Rooms: [Function],
admin_collections_POIs: [Function],
admin_collections_Themes: [Function],
admin_collections_Users: [Function] }

To accommodate handlers that take arguments, a dialog could be presented allowing the user to enter some params.

The function source is accessible via .toString() and the arguments could be extracted using this method used by Angular.

No need for the config setup step - just make it plug-and-play, using a default config. Devs can put in their own custom config if they want to.

Use the (very lightweight) (dburles:mongo-collection-instances package.

By default you get all the collections (including namespaced ones) in Mongol. If someone only wants a subset of the collections, they can Session.set("Mongol", {collections: [ ... ], ... }) as usual.

Happy to put a PR together once there's a repo I can fork.

First of all thank you for this great package!

Issue:

Package cannot find collection if name of collection is not equal to the name of holding variable.
Example:

// doesn't work
Collection = {};
Collection.a = new Meteor.Collection( 'a'); 

// OR 

// doesn't work
A = new Meteor.Collection( 'a'); 

// will work
A = new Meteor.Collection( 'A');
a  = new Meteor.Collection( 'a');

I assume that you are trying to find collection by name using : window[name]

There is package which can help to find the collection by name:
https://github.com/dburles/mongo-collection-instances/

Hopefully it should solve the problem :
Mongo.Collection.get('name)

I have multiple active, working subscriptions, but Mongol doesn't show them. Am I doing something wrong?
