Hi everyone ! I am facing issue in connecting the database server
Post a screenshot of what you are doing that shows the issue you are having.
My count( ) line returned random text (circled red in attached screenshot).
Even pressing enter returned random text, earlier no rendom text.
Is this related to server issues mentioned in this thread?
Hello @yogiHalim ,
Welcome to the MongoDB Community Forums.
You are using the query wrong. It must be
db.companies.find(…).count()
not the other way around. Thanks
Just to let you know the syntax
db.CollectionName.count( Query )
is valid in both mongo and mongosh CLI. See:
Hi Zaib,
db.collection_name.count( ) works.
You should try it.
My question was about random text appearing even if I only pressed enter multiple times on the shell as shown at the bottom of my screenshot earlier.
Are you still getting that random text if you exit shell,reconnect and try a query followed by enter
Thanks for letting me know. learned something new today 
After exiting shell and reconnect, all back to normal.
Then after querying long data (that annoying facebook on companies collection), issue re-appear.
Just writing to let you guys know here.
@yogiHalim Can you maybe share a history of the commands you ran before, or alternatively a log file for that mongosh session (https://docs.mongodb.com/mongodb-shell/logs/)?
I tried the following command
Get-Content %UserProfile%/AppData/Local/mongodb/mongosh/_log
on the windows cmd, returns: it doesn’t recognize Get-Content
(I replaced user profile, and log filename with mine)
sorry I’m still not used to this.
