Mongocxx library segmentation fault


I'm trying to install the mongo-c-driver and mongo-cxx-driver in a Docker image, but when I run my C++ program it throws a Segmentation fault. Any ideas? Valgrind says it's mongo's fault.

I have some IOT devices and in my own computer they run just fine.

I'm using:

Code:

std::string MongoDB::insertDocument(std::string database,
    std::string collection, bsoncxx::document::view_or_value document)
{
    try
    {
        mongocxx::uri uri(_connection_string);
        mongocxx::client conn(uri); // seg fault occurs here

        mongocxx::database db = conn[database];
        mongocxx::collection coll = db[collection];

        auto inserted = coll.insert_one(document.view());

        bsoncxx::oid oid = inserted->inserted_id().get_oid().value;
        return oid.to_string();
    }
    catch (const mongocxx::exception & e)
    {
        std::cerr << "WARNING: Unable to connect to MongoDB" << std::endl;
        return "UNKNOWN";
    }
}

Variable values:

_connection_string = "mongodb://burns"
database = "hopping"
collection = "executions"
document = 
{
    "created_at" : "2020.09.29 10:48:51",
    "hostname" : "XXXXX",
    "interface" : "wlp3s0mon",
    "schedule" : [ 1 ],
    "slot_size" : 200,
    "type" : "MOCK_NODE"
}

Ps: mock_node is my executable and influxdb-logging is a library of mine.

Thank you very much, I have no idea what could be causing this...


Solution

  • From Tutorial for mongocxx:

    IMPORTANT: Before making any connections, you need to create one and only one instance of mongocxx::instance. This instance must exist for the entirety of your program.

    So, you can add this as a static member of your MongoDB class:

    header

    class MongoDB {
        //...
    private:
         static mongocxx::instance inst;
    };
    

    impl

    mongocxx::instance MongoDB::inst{};
    

    Here's an example where I connect to the the default mongodb server (mongodb://localhost:27017), use the database dbted and the collection movie, both of which previously created using the mongo cli.

    I added a method to get a mongocxx::cursor to all documents in the collection.

    #include <bsoncxx/builder/stream/document.hpp>
    #include <bsoncxx/json.hpp>
    
    #include <mongocxx/client.hpp>
    #include <mongocxx/exception/exception.hpp>
    #include <mongocxx/instance.hpp>
    #include <mongocxx/uri.hpp>
    
    #include <iostream>
    
    class MongoDB {
    public:
        MongoDB() :
            client{mongocxx::uri{"mongodb://localhost:27017"}},
            db{client["dbted"]},
            coll{db["movie"]} 
        {}
    
        mongocxx::cursor all() { return coll.find({}); }
    
    private
        mongocxx::client client;
        mongocxx::database db;
        mongocxx::collection coll;
    
        static mongocxx::instance inst;
    };
    
    mongocxx::instance MongoDB::inst{};
    
    int main() {
        try {
            MongoDB db;
    
            std::cout << "Connected successfully\n";
    
            for(auto doc : db.all()) {
                std::cout << bsoncxx::to_json(doc) << '\n';
            }
    
        } catch(const std::exception& ex) {
            std::cerr << "Exception: " << ex.what() << std::endl;
            return 1;
        }
    }
