fix(mongodb): make method arguments optional where mongosh allows empty calls#54
Conversation
…ty calls Several mongosh methods can be called with no arguments, but the parser was requiring arguments. This fixes the grammar to match actual mongosh behavior: - find/findOne: support filter + projection args (arguments?) - aggregate: allow empty pipeline (arguments?) - Cursor methods: sort, collation, comment, hint, max, min, readConcern, returnKey, showRecordId, projection - all accept empty calls Verified against local mongosh instance.
