iron mongo hanging at "connecting to"

[seangrogg]

Currently trying to use "$iron mongo" to access a collection; I appear to be hanging at "connecting to: 127.0.0.1/meteor". When I run the application through meteor itself, using "$meteor mongo" the collection connects just fine.

I am having the same issue with iron mongo command hangs on
connecting to: 127.0.0.1:3001/meteor

Confirmed OSX 10.10, Meteor 1.1.0.2, Iron 1.1.2

I think the problem is here somewhere maybe...
https://github.com/iron-meteor/iron-cli/blob/master/lib/tools/meteor.js#L160

No connection to mongo, yet. Same issue... just hangs without resolve

[osx-10.10.3/node-0.12.1/zsh-5.0.5/meteor-1.1.0.2/iron-1.1.2]

same issue. any update? I can get it going by cd app and then meteor mongo

+1 same issue here. If you cd app then meteor mongo it connects ok.

I'm getting the same error with iron mongo.

Unfortunately the meteor mongo is also failing with error message:

mongo: You're not in a Meteor project directory.

@Mitzip any ideas for how to fix this?

[josephdburdick]

This might be a crazy idea but should there be a way to just pass the normal command into the .meteor child directory if the command is not found in Iron's list of commands as some sort of main catch-all fallback?

It just seems like about half the issues I see with Iron is that Iron doesn't recognize a baked-in meteor command. These commands should be tried by Meteor as a last resort.

[chrisbutler]

@josephdburdick i think that's the general idea, and what currently happens in the code

the issue with mongo is that it creates an interactive shell, which is different than just passing back the output from a command

[josephdburdick]

Ohh, I understand the scale of complexity now. Thanks for clearing that up, @chrisbutler.

I just started using iron-cli, and ran into the same issue. So I installed MongoDB, and connected using:
mongo 127.0.0.1:3001/meteor

[jLouzado]

@jchan202 but it's not affecting your app's functionality right?

[jchan202]

@jLouzado I don't notice any 'side effect' so far.

[jLouzado]

just realized that the solution was listed several months months ago... cd app/ and then run meteor mongo

[chrisbutler]

@seangrogg @shails @Mitzip @therinken @connor11528 @jLouzado @jchan202 @josephdburdick this is fixed in 1.7.0 !

Do you mean this directory? /.meteor/local/build/programs/server/app ?
I can't find any other app/ folder. Anyway this one doesn't work for me, still have the same issue.
Did it work for everyone here?
