MongoDB Error 10: Cannot Mutate Object
Description
Error 10, 'Cannot Mutate Object', indicates an attempt to modify a MongoDB document or object that is immutable or read-only. This typically occurs when trying to perform write operations on views, snapshot data, or internally frozen BSON objects.
Error Message
Cannot Mutate Object
Known Causes
3 known causesModifying an Immutable View or Snapshot
Occurs when an operation attempts to alter data within a MongoDB view or a document belonging to a snapshot, which are inherently read-only structures.
Attempting to Change a Frozen Object
This error can arise if a BSON document or object has been internally marked as immutable or 'frozen' by MongoDB or the driver, preventing direct modifications.
Incorrect Driver or API Usage
The application code or MongoDB driver might be using an API method that implies mutation on an object that is not designed to be directly modifiable in its current state.
