exception: can't convert from BSON type EOO to Date

Question

I am getting an issue for running the following aggregate query:

db.snippets.aggregate([ { \'$project\': { month: { \'$month\': \'$created_at\' }} } ])
         


        

Answer 1

I had a similar problem, and solved it checking if the date existed.

db.users.aggregate([
{$project:{day:  { $cond: ["$bd", { $dayOfMonth: "$bd" }, -1] },
           month:  { $cond: ["$bd", { $month: "$bd" }, -1] },
           year:  { $cond: ["$bd", { $year: "$bd" }, -1] }
           }},
{$match:{"month":1, "day":15}}
])

My date field is bd and with that match I'm getting all users that have their birthday on January 15th.
