I have the following cookie cutter code, that just simply looks to select records with a specific field value (that I know exist in my database) with a MongoClient:

await client.connect()

const db = client.db("myDb");

const collection = db.collection("myCollection");

const result = await collection.find({

      "fieldName": "myField"
  },

  {}
)
.toArray();

await client.close();
  
console.log(result);

I know that it works in the case when there is no query, as I successfully could get every data dumped in the result array before, however with the above query, it only writes an empty array to the console, and I could not, for the life of me, figure out why.
