mongosh, installed by default in ubuntu-20.04, is absent in ubuntu-22.04

[tquid]

Description

We use mongosh to do various database operations in our CI workflows. It is installed in ubuntu-20.04, but migrating to 22.04 has broken those workflows. It's possible to install it, of course, but this was an unpleasant surprise and may be for others as well.

(Sorry, it's a private repo.)

Is it regression?

ubuntu-20.04

Expected behavior

Run steps incorporating mongosh execute the command without extra setup.

Actual behavior

Run steps fail with "command not found" or similar language

Repro steps

Steps to reproduce:

1. Using ubuntu-22.04 or ubuntu-latest as the runner, run mongosh as a run step in any workflow.
2. There should be an error to the effect of "command not found"

Same issue here, I figured out that Ubuntu removed mongo from their default installed database packages on Ubuntu 22.04. This resulted in the Github Action runner image ubuntu-22.04 not having mongo. I guess that from now on we need to install it on every action run.

Ah, that's a bummer, I guess we just need to add an install step, then.

Hi @chuma9615 we will take look.

We can install only official releases and you can see here that their team have no ETA for Ubuntu 22.04.

Fair enough. Just for future searchers, though, here is a step that does the trick for me:

      - name: 🍃 Install mongosh
        run: |
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install -y wget gnupg
          wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-6.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -
          echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/6.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-6.0.list
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-mongosh

Sharing my solution to avoid the installation, you can use a docker service:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    services:
      mongo:
        image: mongo
        ports:
          - 27017:27017
        env:
          MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: xxx
          MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: xxx
