Mongo2Go - MongoDB for integration tests & local debugging
========

![Logo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/main/src/mongo2go_200_200.png)

[![NuGet](https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/Mongo2Go.svg?label=NuGet&logo=NuGet)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Mongo2Go/)

Mongo2Go is a managed wrapper around MongoDB binaries.
It targets **.NET Framework 4.7.2** and **.NET Standard 2.1.** and works with Windows, Linux and macOS.
This Nuget package contains the executables of _mongod_, _mongoimport_ and _mongoexport_ **for Windows, Linux and macOS** .

__Brought to you by [Johannes Hoppe](https://twitter.com/johanneshoppe) with the help of many ❤️ contributors!__

Mongo2Go has two use cases:

1. Providing multiple, temporary and isolated MongoDB databases for integration tests
2. Providing a quick to set up MongoDB database for a local developer environment

Integration test
-------------------------------------
With each call of the static method **MongoDbRunner.Start()** a new MongoDB instance will be set up.
A free port will be used (starting with port 27018) and a corresponding data directory will be created.
The method returns an instance of MongoDbRunner, which implements IDisposable.
As soon as the MongoDbRunner is disposed (or if the Finalizer is called by the GC),
the wrapped MongoDB process will be killed and all data in the data directory will be deleted.

Local debugging
------------------------
In this mode a single MongoDB instance will be started on the default port (27017).
No data will be deleted and the MongoDB instance won’t be killed automatically.
Multiple calls to **MongoDbRunner.StartForDebugging()** will return an instance with the State “AlreadyRunning”.
You can ignore the IDisposable interface, as it won’t have any effect.
**I highly recommend to not use this mode on productive machines!**
Here you should set up a MongoDB as it is described in the manual.
For you convenience the MongoDbRunner also exposes _mongoexport_ and _mongoimport_
which allow you to quickly set up a working environment.

Single server replica set mode to enable transactions 
-------------------------
`MongoDbRunner.Start()` can be set up to take in an optional boolean parameter called `singleNodeReplSet`.
When passed in with the value `true` - (**`MongoDbRunner.Start(singleNodeReplSet: true)`**)
- a single node mongod instance will be started as a replica set with the name `singleNodeReplSet`.
Replica set mode is required for transactions to work in MongoDB 4.0 or greater

Replica set initialization requires the use of a short delay to allow for the replica set to stabilize. This delay is linked to a timeout value of 5 seconds.

If the timeout expires before the replica set has stabilized a `TimeoutException` will be thrown.

The default timeout can be changed through the optional parameter `singleNodeReplSetWaitTimeout`, which allows values between 0 and 65535 seconds: **`MongoDbRunner.Start(singleNodeReplSet: true, singleNodeReplSetWaitTimeout: 10)`**

Additional mongod arguments
---------------------------
`MongoDbRunner.Start()` can be set up to consume additional `mongod` arguments. This can be done using the string parameter called `additionalMongodArguments`.

The list of additional arguments cannot contain arguments already defined internally by Mongo2Go. An `ArgumentException` will be thrown in this case, specifying which additional arguments are required to be discarded.

Example of usage of the additional `mongod` arguments: **`MongoDbRunner.Start(additionalMongodArguments: "--quiet")`**

Installation
--------------
The Mongo2Go Nuget package can be found at [https://nuget.org/packages/Mongo2Go/](https://nuget.org/packages/Mongo2Go/)
To install it via the .NET CLI, simply enter:

```sh
dotnet add package Mongo2Go
```

* The new 4.x and 5.x branches target __.NET Framework 4.7.2__ and __.NET Standard 2.1__. Please use the latest version if possible. 
* The old 3.x branch targets __.NET Standard 2.0__. No new features will be added, only bugfixes might be made.
* The old 2.x branch targets __.NET Standard 1.6__. No new features will be added, only bugfixes might be made.
* The old 1.x branch targets good-old classic __.NET 4.6.1__. This is for legacy environments only. No changes will be made.

Examples
--------

**Example: Integration Test (here: Machine.Specifications & Fluent Assertions)**

```c#
[Subject("Runner Integration Test")]
public class when_using_the_inbuild_serialization : MongoIntegrationTest

    static TestDocument findResult;
    
    Establish context = () =>
        {
            CreateConnection();
            _collection.Insert(TestDocument.DummyData1());
        };

Because of = () => findResult = _collection.FindOneAs<TestDocument>();

It should_return_a_result = () => findResult.ShouldNotBeNull();
    It should_hava_expected_data = () => findResult.ShouldHave().AllPropertiesBut(d => d.Id).EqualTo(TestDocument.DummyData1());

Cleanup stuff = () => _runner.Dispose();
}

public class MongoIntegrationTest

 _collection = database.GetCollection<TestDocument>("TestCollection");
 }
} 
```

More tests can be found at https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/tree/master/src/Mongo2GoTests/Runner

**Example: Exporting seed data**

```c#
using (MongoDbRunner runner = MongoDbRunner.StartForDebugging()) {

runner.Export("TestDatabase", "TestCollection", @"..\..\App_Data\test.json");
}
```

**Example: Importing for local debugging (compatible with ASP.NET MVC 4 Web API as well as ASP.NET Core)**

```c#
public class WebApiApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
    private MongoDbRunner _runner;

protected void Application_Start()
    {
        _runner = MongoDbRunner.StartForDebugging();

MongoClient client = new MongoClient(_runner.ConnectionString);
 MongoDatabase database = client.GetDatabase("TestDatabase");
 MongoCollection<TestObject> collection = database.GetCollection<TestObject>("TestCollection");

/* happy coding! */
    }

Bundled MongoDB binaries & licenses
-------------------------------------

This package redistributes the official MongoDB binaries, unmodified except for symbol stripping (to keep the
package small) and, on Apple Silicon, an ad-hoc code signature so the stripped binary will run. To keep the
package under the 250 MiB nuget.org limit, only the three executables are bundled — the upstream license and
notice files are not, so their terms are reproduced here by reference:

- **MongoDB Community Server** (`mongod`) — [Server Side Public License (SSPL) v1](https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license). © MongoDB, Inc.
- **MongoDB Database Tools** (`mongoimport`, `mongoexport`) — [Apache License 2.0](https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-tools/blob/master/LICENSE.md). © MongoDB, Inc.

Mongo2Go itself is [MIT-licensed](LICENSE); the licenses above apply only to the bundled MongoDB binaries.

Changelog
-------------------------------------

### Mongo2Go 5.0.0, July 21 2026

- **BREAKING — MongoDB upgraded from 4.4.4 to 8.0.26** (the 8.0 LTS line), and the MongoDB Database Tools from 100.3.1 to 100.14.0 (fixes [#132](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/issues/132)). This is why the major version is bumped: MongoDB 8.0 raises the minimum operating-system requirements for consumers. In particular the Linux binaries need **glibc 2.35 or newer** (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, RHEL 9+, Amazon Linux 2023+) — these builds link OpenSSL 3, which is what removes the old `libcrypto.so.1.1`/`libssl.so.1.1` dependency. See [MongoDB's platform support matrix](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/administration/production-notes/#platform-support) for the exact supported versions of each OS.
- **NEW: native macOS arm64 (Apple Silicon)** — the package now bundles a native `mongod`/`mongoimport`/`mongoexport` for Apple Silicon, so there is **no more Rosetta 2**. Together with the Linux arm64 support added in 4.2.0 this completes [#127](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/issues/127). Intel macs continue to use the x64 binaries. Bundled platforms are now: Windows x64, Linux x64 & arm64, macOS x64 & arm64.
- **`libcrypto.so.1.1` is no longer required** — MongoDB 8.x links OpenSSL 3, which ships on all currently supported Linux distributions. The `libssl1.1` workaround previously needed on Ubuntu 22.04+ is gone, which fixes running on modern Ubuntu and in `dotnet/sdk` containers ([#149](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/issues/149)) and on GitLab CI ([#135](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/issues/135)).
- **Fixed "too many open files"** ([#147](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/issues/147)) — process handles for `chmod`, `mongoimport`/`mongoexport` and the replica-set initialisation client were not being disposed, leaking file descriptors on every runner start and every import/export. They are now released deterministically.
- **Strong-named assembly** — `Mongo2Go.dll` is now strong-named, so it can be referenced from strong-named / signed consumer projects (fixes [#150](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/issues/150)).
- Internal: the `MongoDownloader` tool can now pin an exact MongoDB server and tools version (so a release is reproducible), strips and — on Apple Silicon — re-signs binaries with a bounded memory footprint, and regenerates the runtime checksum manifest automatically.

### Mongo2Go 4.2.0, July 21 2026

- **NEW: Linux ARM64 support** — the package now bundles native `mongod`, `mongoimport` and `mongoexport` for Linux arm64 in addition to the existing x64 binaries. Binary resolution is now architecture-aware, so the correct build is selected automatically (fixes [#127](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/issues/127)). On Apple Silicon the x64 macOS binaries continue to run under Rosetta 2, since MongoDB 4.4 has no macOS arm64 build.
- Updated all NuGet dependencies, most notably **MongoDB.Driver** from 3.1.0 to 3.9.0. This resolves the vulnerable transitive dependencies (SharpCompress, Snappier) reported in [#160](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/issues/160) (PR [#159](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/pull/159) — many thanks to [Simon Schmid](https://github.com/schms27)).
- **Smaller package**: the bundled MongoDB binaries are now stripped, reducing the package by roughly 22%. Even with the added arm64 binaries the package is smaller than before.
- Internal: the `MongoDownloader` tool now verifies every downloaded archive against MongoDB's published SHA-256 before extraction, and the bundled binaries are verified against a committed checksum manifest at runtime. This strengthens the supply-chain guarantees of the package.
- Please note that the bundled version of MongoDB included with this package remains **v4.4.4**.

### Mongo2Go 4.1.0, January 30 2025

- Updated **MongoDB.Driver** to version **3.1.0**, ensuring compatibility with the latest MongoDB client features (PR [#156](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/pull/156), fixes [#154](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/issues/154) - many thanks to [Teneko](https://github.com/teneko))  
- Please note that the bundled version of MongoDB included with this package remains **v4.4.4**. 
- **Note for Ubuntu users**: MongoDB 4.4.4 requires **libcrypto.so.1.1**, which is no longer included in Ubuntu 22.04 and newer. If you encounter an error like:  
  ```
  error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  ```
  You can fix this by installing OpenSSL 1.1 manually:  
  ```bash
  echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/focal-security.list
  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install -y libssl1.1
  ```
  This restores `libcrypto.so.1.1` and allows Mongo2Go/MongoDB to run properly.

### Mongo2Go 4.0.0, November 19 2024

- A big thank you to [DrewM-Hax0r](https://github.com/DrewM-Hax0r) for championing this release! (PR [#153](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/pull/153), fixes [#152](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/issues/152))
- This is a new major version for Mongo2Go (4.x), driven by:
  - Dropping support for old .NET Framework versions earlier than 4.7.2 due to updated framework targets.
  - MongoDB driver switching to strong-named assemblies (see [.NET Driver Version 2.28.0 Release Notes](https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/net-driver-2-28-0-released/289745)).
- Updated **MongoDB driver to version 3** and re-targeted the project to meet the requirements of the new driver version.
- Fixed an issue with the single-node replica set option, caused by outdated connection strings that were incompatible with the latest MongoDB driver.
- Replaced deprecated dependent packages with updated, supported versions, and patched vulnerabilities by upgrading vulnerable dependencies.
- Please note that the bundled version of MongoDB included with this package has not changed and is still **v4.4.4**. This version of MongoDB is still compatible with the latest version of the driver, so there was no need to update at this time.
- **Bugfix:** Corrected binary search path on Linux when `NUGET_PACKAGES` is specified (PR [#140](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/pull/140), fixes [#134](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/issues/134) - many thanks to [Ove Andersen](https://github.com/azzlack))
- **Bugfix**: Stops extra empty temporary data being generated (PR [#138](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/pull/138), fixes [#136](https://github.com/Mongo2Go/Mongo2Go/issues/136) - many thanks to [Alex Wardle](https://github.com/awardle))
