Introduction

This GitHub Action starts a MongoDB server or MongoDB replica set. By default, the MongoDB server is available on the default port 27017. You can configure a custom port using the mongodb-port input. The examples show how to use a custom port.

This is useful when running tests against a MongoDB database.

Usage

A code example says more than a 1000 words. Here’s an exemplary GitHub Action using a MongoDB server in versions 4.0 and 4.2 to test a Node.js app:

name: Run tests

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        node-version: [12.x, 14.x]
        mongodb-version: ['4.0', '4.2', '4.4']

    steps:
    - name: Git checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
      uses: actions/setup-node@v1
      with:
        node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}

    - name: Start MongoDB
      uses: supercharge/[email protected]
      with:
        mongodb-version: ${{ matrix.mongodb-version }}

    - run: npm install

    - run: npm test
      env:
        CI: true

Using a Custom MongoDB Port

You can start the MongoDB instance on a custom port. Use the mongodb-port: 12345 input to configure port 12345 for MongoDB. Replace 12345 with the port you want to use in your test runs.

The following example starts a MongoDB server on port 42069:

name: Run tests

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        node-version: [12.x, 14.x]
        mongodb-version: ['4.0', '4.2', '4.4']

    steps:
    - name: Git checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
      uses: actions/setup-node@v1
      with:
        node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}

    - name: Start MongoDB
      uses: supercharge/[email protected]
      with:
        mongodb-version: ${{ matrix.mongodb-version }}
        mongodb-replica-set: test-rs
        mongodb-port: 42069

    - name: Install dependencies
      run: npm install

    - name: Run tests
      run: npm test
      env:
        CI: true

With a Replica Set

You can run your tests against a MongoDB replica set by adding the mongodb-replica-set: your-replicate-set-name input. The value for mongodb-replica-set defines the name of your replica set. Replace your-replicate-set-name with the replica set name you want to use in your tests.

The following example uses the replica set name test-rs:

name: Run tests

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        node-version: [12.x, 14.x]
        mongodb-version: ['4.0', '4.2', '4.4']

    steps:
    - name: Git checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
      uses: actions/setup-node@v1
      with:
        node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}

    - name: Start MongoDB
      uses: supercharge/[email protected]
      with:
        mongodb-version: ${{ matrix.mongodb-version }}
        mongodb-replica-set: test-rs
        mongodb-port: 42069

    - name: Install dependencies
      run: npm install

    - name: Run tests
      run: npm test
      env:
        CI: true
