Basic querying doesn't work

[majelbstoat]

The most simple filtering does not appear to work for MongoDB.

1. Open a collection
2. Enter a basic query, like {is_active: true}
3. Click Find Query
4. Observe results that have {is_active: false}

Version 0.6.3
Connected to MongoDB Atlas. Query works correctly with Studio 3T.

Thank you for reporting this issue and for taking the time to evaluate the extension. We really appreciate your help!

At the moment, our query editor expects a valid JSON input. In this case, that would be:

{ "is_active": true }

That said.. we should absolutely be smarter here :) A computer parsing JSON is kind of its whole job, and you shouldn’t be asked to do that work for it. At the very least, we should clearly warn when parsing fails instead of silently expecting perfectly formatted input.

This is an unintended limitation on our side, and we’ll be addressing it shortly. Thanks again for catching this!

We’ll include a warning in an upcoming 0.7.0 release. Also, the next 0.8.0 release planned for February will completely revamp our query input with improved language support. This should allow us to understand pretty much anything, regardless of formatting.
