Parse-server: Able to use MongoDB 3.4.x?

[dvanwinkle]

Are we able to start using the latest MongoDB seeing as parse.com is now closed? If I remember right, the only reason why the 3.0.x requirement was there in the first place was due to Parse's servers only supporting that version.

The tests currently run against mongo 3.0.8 and 3.2.6. We could update to run against 3.4.x, possibly replacing the 3.2.6 tests if there are no problems. I don't foresee anything going wrong but we are stuck on an older version of the mongodb driver and it is not trivial to update.

If you want to do a quick check you can modify package.json to use 3.4.x and run parse-server tests locally. I recommend you do this also for your own code in case a problem is not covered by a parse-server test.

I can take a look at some point.

I am using Mongo v3.4 too, on Mongo Atlas, and works without any problem. 👍

[flovilmart]

So we can close that!

This seems old but the docs does not say that 3.4 works? Do the docs just need updating, or am I reading this wrong?

[flovilmart]

even 3.6 works :)

[marcelocotrim]

3.6 is working perfectly!

What about 4?

Should be working in 4 as well: https://travis-ci.org/parse-community/parse-server/jobs/561149679
