Mongodb bson_ext InvalidDocument error

Question

I want to use bson_ext with mongodb but I get a strange error.

I tried to run this ruby test code :

require 'mongo'
include Mongo
mongoClient = MongoClient.new("localhost", 27017)

and the error was :

/home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353/gems/bson-1.9.2/lib/bson/bson_c.rb:20:in serialize': BSON.serialize takes a Hash but got a Hash (BSON::InvalidDocument) from /home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353/gems/bson-1.9.2/lib/bson/bson_c.rb:20:inserialize' ...

I ran bundle install with the following Gemfile :

gem "bson"
gem "bson_ext"
gem "mongo"

(Installed versions are all 1.9.2 but ruby is 2.0.0)

I really don't know what to do. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

I tried to reproduce this but it worked for me with ruby 2.0.0p247

$ ruby -v
ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [universal.x86_64-darwin13]

I installed the same versions of gems.

$ gem list

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

bson (1.9.2, 1.3.1)

Trying to connect

Stopped the mongod to check its really connecting

irb(main):004:0> mongoClient = MongoClient.new("localhost", 27017)
Mongo::ConnectionFailure: Failed to connect to a master node at localhost:27017

I hope this helps.
