I'm using Clojure's Monger library to connect to a MongeoDB database.
I want to update, insert & remove subdocuments in my Mongo database. MongoDB's $push modifier lets me do this on the root of the searched document. But I want to be able to $push onto a sub-collection. Looking at Monger's tests, it looks possible. But I want to be sure I can push to the child-collection of the 3rd parent. Can Monger do something like this?
(mgcol/update mycollection { :my-criteria-key "my-criteria-value" } { $push { "parent.3.child-collection" "fubar" }} )
Even better would be the ability to have a $where clause in my $push. Is something like this possible?
(mgcol/update mycollection
{ :doc-criteria-key "doc-criteria-value" }
{ $push
{ { $where { parent.child.lastname: 'Smith' } }
"fubar" } }
)
But even on a basic level, when I try the following command in my repl, I get the below error.
The "fubar" database definitely exists
I'm definitely connected to the DB
The { :owner "fubar@gmail.com" } criteria is definitely valid; and
I tried both "content.1.content" and "content.$.content":
repl => (mc/update "fubar" { :owner "fubar@gmail.com" } { $push { "content.1.content" { "fu" "bar" } } } )

Had anyone come across this and solved it?
Thanks
You have a three part question, with some inconsistencies and holes in the description. So here is my best guess, hope that it is close.
I can get all three to work given schema matched to your update requests, see test/core.clj below for complete details.
First part: Yes, you can push to the child-collection of the 3rd parent, exactly as you have written.
Second part: You want to move your "$where" clause into the criteria, and use $ in the objNew.
Third part: Yes, your basic update works for me below, exactly as you have written.
The output of "lein test" follows at the bottom. All the best to you in your endeavors.
