I'm trying to get map results and save them into a file.

I'm using this:

fs.writeFileSync(
    "id.json",
    JSON.stringify(
        db.patient.find({},{_id: 1}).map(function(p) { return {id: p._id} })
    )
);

I'm getting this error message:

Uncaught:
TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON
    --> starting at object with constructor 'Topology'
    |     property 's' -> object with constructor 'Object'
    |     property 'sessionPool' -> object with constructor 'ServerSessionPool'
    --- property 'topology' closes the circle

I've performed inner query alone:

I'm getting this result:

> db.patient.find({},{_id: 1}).map(function(p) { return {id: p._id} });

  • Does this answer your question? [Serializing object that contains cyclic object value](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9382167/serializing-object-that-contains-cyclic-object-value) – Patrick Hollweck Jan 26 '22 at 09:08
  • I don't quite figure how to troubleshoot that. It's strange since they really straightforward objects... – Jordi Jan 26 '22 at 09:25
  • Can you do `Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors(x);` where x is the result of your query and show me the result? – Patrick Hollweck Jan 26 '22 at 09:33
