MongoDB error: “j must be numeric or a boolean value”

[Jobarion]

I was basically told to post this here since it's apperantly caused by genghis.

• Are you using the Ruby or PHP version of Genghis?
• What Ruby/PHP version are you running?
• What MongoDB driver version are you running?
• How are you connecting to the database? (Is it on localhost? If not, what kind of URL are you entering?)

Ruby: 1.9.3p484
MongoDB: 3.0.2
I'm entering a domain. (e.g. mongo.example.net)

I haven't used genghis but I hit this exact error trying to use the 1.9.2 mongo gem to connect to a mongo 3 server in a rails app. Downgrading mongo to 2.6 resolved the error in that case.

Yes, it's due to the new authentication mechanism in MongoDB 3.0. I honestly doubt it's going to get fixed.
