Problem

MongoDB queries were failing when executed from the ArcadeDB Studio web interface. The queries would return an empty response {}, causing JavaScript errors in the Studio when trying to access data.result.records:

{ collection: doc, query: {} }

This would fail in studio-database.js at lines 583 and 634 with errors like Cannot read property 'length' of undefined.

Interestingly, the same query worked correctly when executed via curl or wget using the /api/v1/query/ endpoint:

wget -qO- "http://localhost:2480/api/v1/query/test" \
  --post-data='{"language":"mongo","command":"{collection:doc,query: {}}","limit":25,"serializer":"studio"}' \
  --user=root

Root Cause

The Studio was sending all queries to the /api/v1/command/{database} endpoint, which uses PostCommandHandler. This handler calls database.command(), but MongoDB's MongoQueryEngine.command() method returns null (not implemented):

@Override
public ResultSet command(final String query, ...) {
  return null;  // NOT IMPLEMENTED for MongoDB
}

When the ResultSet is null, serializeResultSet() returns early without populating the response, resulting in an empty JSON object.

Solution

Modified studio-database.js to dynamically select the appropriate API endpoint based on the query language:

  1. For MongoDB queries: Use /api/v1/query/{database} which calls PostQueryHandlerdatabase.query() (properly implemented)
  2. For all other queries: Continue using /api/v1/command/{database} (existing behavior)

Additionally, added defensive null checks to prevent JavaScript errors if the response structure is unexpected.

Changes

  • Modified executeCommandTable() and executeCommandGraph() functions
  • Added endpoint selection: language === "mongo" ? "api/v1/query/" : "api/v1/command/"
  • Added null safety checks for data.result.records access
  • No server-side changes required

Testing

  • ✅ Studio builds successfully with npm
  • ✅ Full Maven build passes
  • ✅ Minimal changes: 20 insertions, 5 deletions in 1 file
  • ✅ Follows existing API patterns

MongoDB queries now work correctly in Studio, matching the behavior of direct API calls.

<issue_title>[studio] mongo queries fail</issue_title>
<issue_description>ArcadeDB Server v25.4.1-SNAPSHOT (build 7869b2c97e8b1fafdd150bd80e4e6b37304278e9/1744918618762/main)

Running on Mac OS X 15.4 - OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 21.0.6 (Homebrew)

Mongo queries fail from studio (given a database test):

CREATE DOCUMENT TYPE doc
INSERT INTO doc SET num = 1
{ collection: doc, query: {} }

causing an error in studio-database.js either in https://github.com/ArcadeData/arcadedb/blob/main/studio/src/main/resources/static/js/studio-database.js#L467 or https://github.com/ArcadeData/arcadedb/blob/main/studio/src/main/resources/static/js/studio-database.js#L518 depending on table or graph tab because the data does not have a result object.

The problem seems to be that the response from the server is empty:

{}

In comparison the same query via wget works:

$ wget -qO- "http://localhost:2480/api/v1/query/test" --post-data='{"language":"mongo","command":"{collection:doc,query: {}}","limit":25,"profileExecution":"basic","serializer":"studio"}' --user=root

🧪 CI Insights

Here's what we observed from your CI run for bf723f6.

🟢 All jobs passed!

But CI Insights is watching 👀

- Change executeCommandTable() and executeCommandGraph() to use /api/v1/query/ endpoint for MongoDB queries instead of /api/v1/command/
- Add defensive null checks for data.result to prevent JavaScript errors when response is empty
- MongoDB queries now work correctly in Studio as the /query endpoint uses database.query() which is implemented for MongoDB
