  1. Add support for AWS_PROFILE when authMechanism is MONGODB-AWS

    Currently, when using MONGODB-AWS, it can only read the following variables:

    AWS ACCESS KEY ID
    AWS SECRET ACCESS KEY
    AWS SESSION TOKEN

    which forces you to export credentials or to paste them in the CLI.

    AWS has a variable called AWS_PROFILE that will fetch the required values from your credential file, without having to paste them again. This variable is supported by anything using AWS SDK, so mongosh should have support for it as well.

    Hi there,


    Thank you for your feedback. We wanted to let you know this issue has been resolved starting mongosh version 2.2.0. Please find the latest version of mongosh here: https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/shell.

  2. Ability to execute a javascript file from inside the shell

    Currently the only way to execute a javascript file from the mongo shell is to re-direct the input at shell login time (e.g. mongo --username <username> ... < myscript.js). It would be helpful to have a way to execute the script from inside the shell via some sort of "run" command (e.g.from inside the shell "run /my/path/myscript.js".

  3. Edit command like the old mongo shell has

    It would be nice to have the edit feature of the old mongo shell https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/configure-mongo-shell/#use-an-external-editor-in-the-mongo-shell
