MongoDB connector silently failing to insert document in AWS Cluster

[diegomarquezp]

Hi there. I'm switching my local test database to one in the AWS cloud. I created a cluster with Atlas and I can connect to it using DBCompass. I changed the datasource settings for my app to point into this new cluster and it runs correctly.

The problem is that when I insert a document using this.repo.create() it even returns the created object with its own ObjectID and stuff, but when I do the double-check using DBCompass, no document seems to be inserted at all (I had two windows pointing both to my local db and the AWS cluster to ensure I was not missing the right database). I switched back to my local datasource to confirm the problem and it seems to be correctly inserting documents when I check with DBCompass, so the problem seems to occur only with this AWS cluster

I was wondering if there was any thrown/caught exception by using VSCode debugger, but nope, no exception at all is occurring when pointing to the AWS cluster.

I'm hoping that this is a common situation when dealing with mongo atlas.

Here is some info:

The silently failing code Returns inserted object with object id, but actual document is not inserted in cluster

    async signUp(
        @requestBody({
            content: {
                'application/json': {
                    schema: getModelSchemaRef(NewUserRequest, {
                        title: 'NewUser',
                    }),
                },
            },
        })
        newUserRequest: NewUserRequest,
    ): Promise<User> {
        const password = await hash(newUserRequest.password, await genSalt());
        const savedUser = await this.userRepository.create(
            _.omit(newUserRequest, 'password'),
        );

        await this.userRepository.userCredentials(savedUser.id).create({ 
            password,
            roles: ['customer']
        });

        return savedUser;
    }

My datasource (lb4 does not complain, seems to accept this config):

const config = {
  name: 'main',
  connector: 'mongodb',
  url: 'mongodb+srv://****:****@****.ggfzy.mongodb.net/test',
  host: '****-shard-00-01.ggfzy.mongodb.net:27017,****-shard-00-00.ggfzy.mongodb.net:27017,****-shard-00-02.ggfzy.mongodb.net:27017',
  port: 27017,
  user: '****i',
  password: '****',
  database: '****',
  useNewUrlParser: true
};

Thanks in advance for any help
