MongoDB playground output not showing in VS Code terminal

Question

I'm trying to run a few queries on MongoDB playground extension. According to the documentation, the output of the queries should be shown in a terminal. However, A new file is opening up to display the result and the playground output tab of the terminal is empty.

How do I get it to show the result in the terminal?

Answer 1

Use print() or console.log() command

Note that print and console.log will print in the VS Code Output panel, while the result of the playground is displayed in an editor.
