Connecting To Mongo Replica Set With Doctrine MongoODM Module - php

Question

We are in the process of updating our API's MongoDB hosting provider from mLab to MongoDB Atlas.
I have updated our connection server to PHP 7.4 with MongoDB PHP extension 1.7.4.
I have updated our API framework from Apigility to Laminas API Tools using the DoctrineMongoODMModule
I can successfully connect using the mongo shell using the following syntax:
mongo "mongodb+srv://test-server-dbteb.mongodb.net/<dbname>" --username <username>
I have looked far and wide to find a sample configuration of the DoctrineMongoODMModule with it's configuration file to connect to a MongoDB Atlas replica set using the mongo+srv:// protocol with no success to this point. Currently the errors are Failed to parse MongoDB URI.
If anyone has had a similar experience, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I had the same issue and im still looking forward to get a real solution.
I directly edited the ConnectionFactory.php in the doctrine-mongo-odm-module (src/DoctrineMongoODMModule/Service/ConnectionFactory.php) with the following code
//...
if (empty($connectionString)) {
$connectionString = 'mongodb+srv://'; //prev: 'mongodb://'
$user = $options->getUser();
$password = $options->getPassword();
$dbName = $options->getDbName();
if ($user && $password) {
$connectionString .= $user . ':' . $password . '#';
}
$connectionString .= $options->getServer() /*. ':' . $options->getPort()*/;
if ($dbName) {
$connectionString .= '/' . $dbName;
}
} else {
// parse dbName from the connectionString
$dbStart = strpos($connectionString, '/', 11);
if ($dbStart !== false) {
$dbEnd = strpos($connectionString, '?');
$dbName = substr(
$connectionString,
$dbStart + 1,
$dbEnd ? ($dbEnd - $dbStart - 1) : PHP_INT_MAX
);
}
}
//...
and in my connection file:
//...
'odm_default' => array(
'server' => '<host>',
'port' => '',
'connectionString' => null,
'user' => '<user>',
'password' => '<psw>',
'dbname' => '<db>',
'options' => array()
),
//...
I think this is the worst possible solution (editing vendor' files) but in my case worked, take that as a temporary fix
