mongodb-error validating settings: only one positional argument is allowed

Question

I just moved to a new laptop which had mongo 3.0.0 I believe. On the new laptop I have mongo 3.0.4. and trying the script that was working on the old laptop is giving me errors

Answer 1

If you get this error while inserting fields with --fields, the probable reason might be you are using spaces to do that.

Both -f and --fields should work in those cases Using Mongo Version 3.0.6

mongoimport --db logs --collection action_logs --type tsv -f updated_at ,transaction_time ,origin  --file parsed.tsv
mongoimport --db logs --collection action_logs --type tsv -f updated_at,transaction_time,origin  --file parsed.tsv
