My main problem is that in the mongodb documentation they use a command $elemMatchto find and pull an element from an array, but this does not work when I use. My document structure
{
"_id" : ObjectId("55dea445c3ad8cac03a7ed8e"),
"email" : "james@user.com",
"groups" : [
{
"_id" : ObjectId("55dea4a4c3ad8c8005a7ed8f"),
"name" : "All Group"
}
]}
I want to remove groups from a document using mongodb request. My request:
db.users.update({"_id": ObjectId('55dea445c3ad8cac03a7ed8e')},
{$pull: {"groups": {$elemMatch: {"_id": ObjectId('55dea4a4c3ad8c8005a7ed8f')}}}})
After the request is completed, the user document is not updated and the group value is still saved. I follow the mongodb documentation as: http://docs.mongodb.org/v2.6/reference/operator/update/pull/
