How to update a mongodb object using multiple selection criteria - mongodb

Question

My schema structure looks something like this:
{
"__v":0,
"_id":ObjectId("5708423e897db8255aaaa9dd"),
"podId":169400000005,
"env":[
{
"type":"1",
"id":3852000000035,
"_id":ObjectId("5708423e897db8255aaaa9de")
},
{
"type":"2",
"id":3852000000040,
"_id":ObjectId("5708423e897db8255aaaa9df")
}
],
"name":"Test Build",
"parameters":[
{
"name":"sound.left",
"type":"1",
"paramName":"Left Sound Control",
"paramType":"booleanParameter",
"testValue":null,
"liveValue":null,
"_id":ObjectId("5708423f897db8255aaaaa0d")
},
{
"name":"sound.right",
"type":"1",
"paramName":"Right Sound Control",
"paramType":"booleanParameter",
"testValue":null,
"liveValue":null,
"_id":ObjectId("5708423f897db8255aaaaa0d")
},
...
]
}
I have 3 known variables: podId for podId, codeName for parameters.name, envType for parameters.type. Using them I want to update the object using podId, codeName, and envType, with a new variable paramValue that will contain the testValue value.
What I've tried
db.pods.update({
podId: podId,
parameters: {
$elemMatch: {
name: codeName,
type: envType
}
}
}, {
$set: {
'parameters.$.testValue': paramValue
}
});
I'm trying to update the testValue where podId == podId, parameters.name == codeName, and parameters.type == envType, but the above did not update anything.
I also tried
db.pods.update({
podId: podId,
parameters: {
name: codeName,
type: envType
}
}, {
$push: {
parameters: {
testValue: paramValue
}
}
},
function(err) {
if(err) throw err;
});
basically taking what worked to build the object when I only had to compare the podId, and adding the extra criteria; it didn't work this time.
edit: fixed schema type Number to String

Let these are variables that you have in mongo shell:
> var podId = 169400000005
> var codeName = "sound.right"
> var envType = "1"
> var paramValue = "updatedParamValue"
This query you can try:
db.test.update({"podId":podId, "parameters.name" : codeName, "parameters.type" : envType}, {$set : {"parameters.0.testValue" : paramValue,"parameters.1.testValue" : paramValue}})
Depending upon which testValue you want to update, you can pass index to that.
Update
Following result i get after the update query:
db.test.find().pretty()
{
"_id" : ObjectId("570c850ab9477f18ac5297f9"),
"__v" : 0,
"podId" : 169400000005,
"env" : [
{
"type" : "1",
"id" : 3852000000035,
"_id" : ObjectId("5708423e897db8255aaaa9de")
},
{
"type" : "2",
"id" : 3852000000040,
"_id" : ObjectId("5708423e897db8255aaaa9df")
}
],
"name" : "Test Build",
"parameters" : [
{
"name" : "sound.left",
"type" : "1",
"paramName" : "Left Sound Control",
"paramType" : "booleanParameter",
"testValue" : "updatedParamValue",
"liveValue" : null,
"_id" : ObjectId("5708423f897db8255aaaaa0d")
},
{
"name" : "sound.right",
"type" : "1",
"paramName" : "Right Sound Control",
"paramType" : "booleanParameter",
"testValue" : "updatedParamValue",
"liveValue" : null,
"_id" : ObjectId("5708423f897db8255aaaaa0d")
}
]
}
Thanks.
