Remove object from nested array in MongoDB using NodeJS - node.js

Question

I can see that this question should have been answered here, but the code simply doesn't work for me (I have tried multiple, similar variations).
Here is my data:
[{
"_id": {
"$oid": "628cadf43a2fd997be8ce242"
},
"dcm": 2,
"status": true,
"comments": [
{
"id": 289733,
"dcm": 2,
"status": true,
"clock": "158",
"user": "Nathan Field",
"dept": "IT",
"department": [],
"dueback": "",
"comment": "test 1"
},
{
"id": 289733,
"dcm": 2,
"status": true,
"clock": "158",
"user": "Nathan Field",
"dept": "IT",
"department": [],
"dueback": "",
"comment": "test 2"
}
],
"department": [],
"dueback": ""
}]
And here is my code
const deleteResult = await db.collection('status').updateOne(
{ "dcm": comments.dcm },
{ $pull: { "comments": { "id": comments.id } } },
{ upsert: false },
{ multi: true }
);
Absolutely nothing happens...

Answer 1

So the issue ended up being something to do with running multiple update operations within one function. I have a database connection function like this:
const withDB = async (operations, res) => {
try {
const client = await MongoClient.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017', { useNewUrlParser: true });
const db = client.db('collection');
await operations(db);
client.close();
} catch (error) {
res.status(500).json({ message: 'Error connecting to db', error });
}
}
And then I call this by using:
withDB(async (db) => {
await db.collection('status').updateMany(
{ "dcm": comments.dcm },
{ $pull: { "comments": { "id": comments.id } } },
{ multi: true }
);
});
The issue occurred it would seem because I had two of these update operations within one withDB function. I have multiple operations in other instances (update item, then fetch collection), but for some reason this caused an issue.
I created a separate call to the withDB function to perform the '$pull' (delete) request, and then updated the array with the new comments.
To check that there was nothing wrong with my actual query, I used Studio3T's IntelliShell feature. If I'd done that sooner I would saved myself a lot of time!
