attempt to index global 'BSONNull' (a nil value)

[joshuacox]

FATAL: `thread_run' function failed: oltp-mongo.lua:247: attempt to index global 'BSONNull' (a nil value)

This happens during the run step, I get through the preparation step just fine. I have a docker repo to test this out:

https://github.com/joshuacox/gymongonasium

make in that directory and it ought to build sysbench and mongorover from source and test it against the mongo container

[joshuacox]

update (as I've made the sysbench step dormant while I try out the python mongo-perf stuff):

docker run -d --name mymongodb mongo:3.4
docker run -it -e GYMONGO_PYTHON=0 -e GYMONGO_SYSBENCH=1 --link mymongodb:mongodb joshuacox/gymongonasium

or to build from scratch using the makefile make sysbench

experiment with your own sysbench command:

docker run -it \
-e GYMONGO_PYTHON=0 -e SLEEP=0 \
--link mongodb:mongodb \
joshuacox/gymongonasium \
sysbench oltp-mongo.lua help

But I still get the issue with the BSONNull when trying to 'run'

Hi,
Have you found any solution (except not running the sum_ranges that produces the error).

Thanks

I had the same problem.
My solution: At the beginning of oltp-mongo.lua, add the following statement:
local BSONNull = require("mongorover.luaBSONObjects.BSONNull")
