Getting MongoDB error - SyntaxError: Unexpected token?

Question

I am a Mongo database. There is a collection called _migrations. I am trying to insert couple of documents into the collection. But I am getting the following error SyntaxError: Unexpected token ?. My code is below.

db._migrations.insert([
{
  "_id" : "1_create-organization-collection"
},
{
  "_id" : "2_create-dataFilter-collection"
},
{
  "_id" : "3_create-application-collection"
},
{
  "_id" : "4_migrate-datafilters-to-mongo"
},
{
  "_id" : "5_Add-Salesforce-DataFilters"
},
{
  "_id" : "6_biq-repository-data-fiter"
}]);

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for all your answers. I have solved the issue. The problem was when I was pasting it in the shell, an extra space character was being inserted after the square brackets. After removing the extra space, the code is working fine. — odbhut.shei.chhele

Can you please trying removing underscore("") in your collection name? I tried with underscore but it did not work for me, but when I tried without underscore("") same data got inserted. So, please try without underscore in your collection name.

_id field value can be inserted after type case with ObjectId. it will work like below -

 db._migrations.insert([
   { "_id" : ObjectId("1_create-organization-collection") },  
   { "_id" : ObjectId("2_create-dataFilter-collection") }
 ]);

Please refer below links for more details about the issue:

Is there a convention to name collection in MongoDB?

Mongo client can't access collections prefixed with an underscore

Mongo shell does not support collection name starting with underscore("_")
