Calling Mongo when using mongodb_ecto how to get the topology_pid about mongodb HOT 4 CLOSED

The function is working now, I got back a cursor and forgot to pipe that into Enum.to_list

Now the only question is how to get to the pid.

from mongodb.

I think the answer is supposed to be MyApp.Repo.Pool, but that doesn't appear to be working.

This is ugly, and I am not going to guarantee that it is going to work all the time, but you can use the following code in order to get the pid of the actual mongo process.

MyApp.Repo |> :sys.get_state() |> get_in([Access.elem(3), Access.elem(1), Mongo, Access.elem(1)])

from mongodb.

Thank you, its ugly but it works.

Aside: I hope that I can also use that to access a mongodb on DigitalOcean.

from mongodb.

It shouldn't matter where your mongo database is hosted. As long as you are able to connect to it, the above should work in order to get the pid from the ecto adapter.

I am closing this as I believe we having a "working" solution. If there is anything else, please feel free to either reopen this issue or create a new one.
