VS Code not able to retrieve database and its collections

Michael_Xie1 · 2023-03-30T16:20:25.035Z

Hi Everyone,

Today, I tried accessing my collection from VS Code (Ubuntu) and when I connected to the project, there would be the standard databases: config, local, and admin. However, the database and its collections were not shown. I tried going to Atlas and Compass, and both were showing the database and the collection I want to make modifications to.

Have you guys experienced this recently? If so, what could be the issue?

Hi @Michael_Xie1 ,

May I suggest you update your extension to version v.0.11.1 to see if this will fix the issue for you.

Works fine for me. Could you post some screen shots of what you’re seeing?

In the meantime:

Make sure you’re actually using the “official” MongoDB VSCode extension. There are others out there!
