I use a fresh installed Drupal 7.8 with Heartbeat and Rules module. After installing and configuring mongoDB i tried to create Rules.
After typing name, tags and action the errormessage appears:

MongoException: zero-length keys are not allowed, did you use $ with double quotes? in MongoCollection->save() (Zeile 187 von /var/www/virtual/../sites/all/modules/mongodb/mongodb_field_storage/mongodb_field_storage.module).

No Rule is created.

Adding mongo.allow_empty_keys = 1 to my php.ini removes the message, but there is still no rule created. Any new attemp to create one dissolves into a Servererror 500:

mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? in /var/www/virtual/../sites/all/modules/mongodb/mongodb_field_storage/mongodb_field_storage.module on line 187, referer: http://../admin/config/workflow/rules/reaction/add

Has anyone had any success in figuring out this issue? It appears to be an problem with Rules since it utilizes the Entity API in Drupal 7.

I would imagine that this would be a CRITICAL issue since Rules is such a primary tool for so many sites... And if it is not compatible with the field storage option of the MongoDB module. (Which is a major reason for many to use the module to begin with.) This would render the MongoDB option completely out.

Therefore, I am upgrading this to critical. (Hopefully others agree.)

Criticial indeed.

I also ran into troubles with Rules and MongoDB. I needed to get the site working quickly so I just made a dummy hack

function mongodb_field_storage_field_storage_write($entity_type, $entity, $op, $fields, $entity_write = FALSE) {
if(strpos($entity_type, "rules") === 0) {
return;
}

Please don't make a patch out of this one, this is not how it should be :) My rules are working, although they don't touch any fields which are in mongodb.

What should be the best way instead of this hack?

I know this is not the best solution, but I think we need to be able to use Rules, so this workaround is committed to 7.x-1.x. Hopefully somebody could look into this and have rules using the field storage in mongodb also.
