Feature Request: Support for $$NOW

[rubenvereecken]

Versions

• mongodb-memory-server-*: 7.3.4

package: mongo-memory-server

What is your question?

I found that there is no support for the mongodb aggregation variable $$NOW which simply returns the current time. We use it in a scoring function used in document sorting. Would it be possible to request this functionality?

like many others already asked, this package only manages the mongodb binary / instance

from what i can tell, variable $$NOW got added in 4.2, where this package's default is 4.0.25, you will have to set your version to 4.2 with VERSION (read here on how to add it to the package.json) or use the package mongodb-memory-server-global-4.2

Brilliant as always, thanks @hasezoey! I hope the issue can at least help some Google search results find their answers.

@hasezoey I'd like to point out that the following config didn't work

  "mongodbMemoryServer": {
    "version": "4.4.7"
  },

But the env variable MONGOMS_VERSION=4.4.7 did work. Hope it helps!

EDIT: Never mind I'll add the config later to the JSON

I'd like to point out that the following config didn't work

did you wrap it in a "config": {} like mentioned in the documentation? when yes, what is you project / folder structure (MMS searched from CWD upwrads for a package.json that includes config.mongodbMemoryServer)?

nevermind, didnt see the EDIT
