In my MongoDB cluster, I have a database userDB with the collection users. This userDB.users collection has a property status which can either have the value active or deleted.
I have also created a mongodb viewusers.notDeleted. This read-only view performs a simple $match aggregation on users to just provide all users that have not been
marked as deleted.

The very simple $match aggregation that is used to create the users.notDeleted view
The test in question
I want to write a unit test for my code that validates a user. A user is created via insertion into the users collection, but you can only login to users that are found in the users.notDeleted view.
Currently I can just mock users.notDeleted, but I am wondering if it can be possible to set up the view in the test environment?
