Question

Why when I do a findOne (same with find), does it only show me the last item in my “acts” array. My collection only contains one document for test purposes.

I’m doing this in the mongo cli: db.mycollection.findOne();

My result of findOne():

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("4f0db64659d044892271018f"),
    "title" : "Awards Show 2012",
    "description" : "An amazing awards show",
    "acts" : [
        {
            "name" : "Act 3",
            "description" : "My act description"
        }
    ]
}

Here is my document:

 {
  "_id": { "$oid" : "4F0DB64659D044892271018F" },
  "title": "Awards Show 2012",
  "description": "An amazing awards show",
  "acts": [
    {
      "name": "Act 1",
      "description": "My act description"
    },
    {
      "name": "Act 2",
      "description": "My act description"
    },
    {
      "name": "Act 3",
      "description": "My act description"
    }
  ]
}

EDIT: Fixed the document – had a typo

MongoHub is really buggy. Please don’t use it. RockMongo and Genghis are quite good.
