StdoutInstanceError: Instance failed to start because a library is missing or cannot be opened: "libcrypto.so.1.1"

Hi, cool project. I tried using it, but got an error. I googled for some ways to install libcrypto, but nothing worked. I'm using Ubuntu 22.04

Here's the error:

Determining test suites to run...Starting the MongoMemoryServer Instance failed, enable debug log for more information. Error:

This repo is a good reproduction of the libcrypto problem on Ubuntu 22.04. I tried changing the version to 5.0.14 and same-same.

What am I missing?

I have mongo running in a docker instance - that would be so much easier and more secure to deploy than downloading the images - is that a possibility?

Thank you!

p.s. I cross posted here: https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/jest-mongo-and-ubuntu-22-04/208722

this might be a duplicate of #351

Mongo's support said Mongo 6 already supports Ubuntu, but the docs haven't been updated.

hi @MichaelJCole I know this issue is closed, but were you able to resolve the issue and how did you go about it? I am currently experiencing the same error using Ubuntu 22.04 on WSL 2. I have been able to install mongoDB successfully on the machine and libssl1.1 is installed on the machine as well, but I just can't get mongodb-memory-server to work. I am using version 8.12.2.

@borodedamie what is you exact error / issue?

[borodedamie]

@hasezoey "library is missing or cannot be opened: "libcrypto.so.1.1", so I downgraded my ubuntu from 22.04 to 18.04 and it works now. Thank you for the prompt response.

Hi @borodedamie I gave up on this approach and use a mongodb cluster from a docker-compose.yaml file now. I also gave up on WSL2 after a bunch of frustration and went back to using Linux Mint which also saved some frustration. Anyways, hope you figure it out - best of luck to you!
