Error trying to updateOne in mongo - $set syntax

See original GitHub issue

Repro steps:

I have data that looks like this

{
  "_id": "5a987da06c23a84554ae0519",
  "name": "Esteban Lothbrok",
  "id": 1,
  "__v": 0,
  "description": "aka Ragnar Sigurdsson"
}

and I try to run this command:

   db.heroes.updateOne(
      { "name" : "Esteban Lothbrok" },
      { $set: { "description" : "aka Ragnar Sigurdsson 2" } }
   );

Action: cosmosDB.executeMongoCommand Error type: Error Error Message: Error near line 5, column 5, text ‘$set’. Please check syntax.

@LordDraagonLive Thanks for raising this issue. This appears to be the same problem addressed in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cosmosdb/issues/489. Until that’s fixed, you can work around it by putting the squiggly brace on the same line as the ending square bracket:

db.createUser({ “user”: “buddhi”, “pwd”: “123”, “roles”: [“readWrite”, “dbAdmin”]} )

Happy coding!
