What about auth enabled mongodb

[sjatkins]

I don't see anything the the codebase for this. Is it missing or am I missing it?

How about "authenticate" in driver/database.lisp?

[sjatkins]

Why would something like this throw a cryptic error? Is there some other pattern I should use to connect to my authenicated db?

MONGO> (defvar db (make-instance 'database :name "admin"))
DB
MONGO> (authenticate db my-user my-password)
#<PROMISE name: "attach: #:|finished-promise75|" finished: NIL errored: T forward: NIL {1002E32FF3}>

When I used a usocket client I got the same promise based error which surprised me.

I don't know. I wrote this code long ago. But I will use this driver in nearest future again. Maybe then I will fix this problem.

Thank you for a speedy and honest answer. Perhaps I will look into it myself soon. But I have needs for persistence for a lisp based web app that are pressing so I will probably use postmodern until that fire dies down. But I would love to eventually move it to mongo.
