TypeError: Cannot read property 'toString' of null when running mongodb 4.2

See original GitHub issue

Not sure if this is fixed in 0.7.0, as that version gives me another error (same as #46).

I am running version 0.6.2 in a docker container, which works fine when running mongodb 4.0 but not 4.2.

My dockerfile looks like the following:

FROM node:12-stretch

RUN apt-get install libkrb5-dev
RUN npm install run-rs@0.6.2 --unsafe-perm -g
CMD ["run-rs","--keep", "-q", "--version", "4.0.0", "--host", "mongo"]

And the output of my container is the following:

@vkarpov15 I tested it and the link to download has changed, I forked the project to debug it and I fixed. I could send a pull a request. Btw I’ve been having the same issue with the version 4.4.1
