Authentication failure on MongoDB

[soderluk]

What are you trying to achieve?

I'm trying to use the MongoDB driver module in my tests (using an authentication database locally), but the following exception is generated:

MongoDb: Failed to list collections of the DB: auth failed

What do you get instead?

Provide console output if related. Use -vvv mode for more details.

[Codeception\Exception\ModuleException]
  MongoDb: Failed to list collections of the DB: auth failed

Details

• Codeception version: 2.2.10
• PHP Version: 7.0.17
• Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (vagrant box)
• Installation type: Composer
• Suite configuration:

class_name: UnitTester
modules:
    enabled: [Asserts, \Helper\Unit, Laravel5, MongoDb]
    config:
      Laravel5:
        environment_file: .env.testing

I could fix this issue, by adding an option 'database' => 'admin' to https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/blob/2.2/src/Codeception/Lib/Driver/MongoDb.php#L114 $options array.
Problem is, that the module won't take into account any additional options, such as authenticationDatabase.

This also affects the mongorestore functionality, which doesn't have support for the --authenticationDatabase <database> option.

@soderluk Please add new options to MongoDb module and make a pull request.

@Naktibalda: I would, but I don't know when I have the time for this. Also it's not just to add the option there, but to support possible others, and also implement it to the restoring process. If someone have the time to have a look at this, it's appreciated, otherwise, I have to wait and see when I have the time.

[Naktibalda]

Take your time, it is unlikely that they will be implemented by someone else.
